Ingredients You Will Need
Ground Beef – Now I recommend using a leaner meat so you have less grease to drain off. You could also swap with turkey for a turkey burger slider if you want.
Seasonings – Salt, Pepper, Garlic powder are simple but help add flavor to the meat.
Onion – This is optional if you do not want onion in your meat.
Cheese – Sliced cheese or shredded cheese works. I did part cheeseburger sliders and the other hamburger. As my family doesn’t all like cheese.
Rolls – Hawaiian butter rolls are what I used, but any brand or flavor works. For this Hawaiian bun sliders recipe we like savory, but sweet rolls do work.
Sesame Seeds – This is a fun topping to this hamburger recipe. You could swap it out or leave it off if you want.
Mayonnaise and Mustard – This is the mix-in I added to the burgers. It helps to flavor the meat a bit before tossing on the buns.
Substitutes and Variations to Recipe
- Swap out the meat for ground turkey, chicken, or even pork.
- Top with Everything But The Bagel Seasoning instead of Sesame seeds.
- Use shredded cheese instead of sliced for these mini burger sliders.
- Mix in some ketchup and mustard and mayo, or even a BBQ sauce to flavor the meat.
- Top with some bacon for a bacon cheeseburger slider recipe!
- Etc.
The possibilities for this are endless. Whip up any or all the new ways and create a dish that fits you. These are awesome for a no-fuss weeknight dinner. That is what I do a lot when I am cooking these. But they are also a great game-day appetizer, and party food.
How to Make
Step One: Start by cooking your hamburger in a skillet over medium heat. Add in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and the finely diced onion.
Once the ground beef is fully cooked, drain off any grease.
Step Two: Now add in the mayonnaise and mustard, and mix well.
Step Three: Slice your Hawaiian rolls or other brand in half, and place the bottom layer of buns on a prepared pan. Top the buns with the ground meat mixture. Top with cheese if you would like, then place your buns on top.
Step Four: Melt the butter and brush all over the top of the buns. Then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Step Five: Toss in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and the tops of the buns have darkened up a little bit.
Pro Tips

- You have to brush slider rolls with butter or they will dry out as they heat up in the oven.
