Please scroll to the bottom of the post for full printable recipe and instructions.
Ground beef: I recommend buying a lean ground beef
Fresh tomatoes
Onion
Stone ground dijon mustard
Garlic powder
Cheese: I went with a classic American cheese slices which is what you normally get on a take out burger.
Salt and black pepper
Worcestershire sauce
Butter
Brown sugar
Everything but the bagel seasoning
Sweet Hawaiian rolls
🔪 Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, combine ground beef and diced onions, cooking and chopping for 7 minutes, until beef is browned. Spoon any excess fat out of the skillet and place in a disposable container.
- Add the salt, pepper, onion powder, diced tomatoes, stone ground mustard, and worcestershire sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes over medium heat, until tomatoes have released their juice and reduced.
- Cut the hawaiian sweet rolls in half lengthwise and place the bottom half in a 9x13 baking dish.
- Place 5 slices of american cheese in a single layer over top of the roll bottoms. You will need to cut one slice in half to make the cheese fit.
- Evenly spread the cooked beef mixture over top of the cheese layer.
- Place bacon on top of the beef mixture, then top with remaining cheese. Place bun tops on last cheese layer.
- Place the butter, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, and dijon mustard in a small microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals, until butter is just melted. Stir to combine.
- Using a silicone brush, coat the top of the rolls with the melted butter mixture until completely saturated. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
- Place uncovered in preheated oven and cook for 25 minutes, until beef mixture is hot, cheese has melted, and tops of the rolls are golden brown.

🥫Storage
Refrigerate: store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
Freezer: store in a freezer safe airtight container up to 3 months.
Reheat: warm thawed sliders wrapped in aluminum foil in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, until warmed. They can also be reheated in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes.
📖 Variations
- Substitute cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese for the American cheese.
- Use ground turkey in place of the ground beef.
- Substitute sesame seeds or poppy seeds for the everything bagel seasoning.
- Canned diced tomatoes can be substituted for fresh tomatoes.
💭 Tips
- Carefully separate the rolls before assembling the sliders. This allows for easy removal of the baked sliders from the baking dish.
- Don't cover the baking dish with foil. Doing so will not allow the buns to brown and crisp up.
