How to Make Hawaiian Roll Cheeseburger Sliders
Ingredients
- 2 lbs 80/20 ground beef
- 12 pack Hawaiian rolls
- 11 slices Colby jack cheese (or American cheese)
- 1 large sweet onion (diced)
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 24 dill pickles
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

- While the beef cooking, sauté the diced onions in melted butter over low heat until browned, which takes about 15 minutes.
- Assemble the sliders: layer pickles on the bottom buns, add the cooked beef slab, top with cheese and sautéed onions, then place the top buns back on.
- Brush the tops with the remaining butter and bake for another 15 minutes until the cheese melts.
