About

These sliders are made for feeding a crowd without standing at the grill. Instead of shaping patties, the beef is browned loose in a skillet with a packet of onion soup mix, then stirred through with shredded Cheddar and mayonnaise into a rich, cheesy filling. It is closer to a cheeseburger casserole in a roll than to a grilled burger, and that is the appeal.

Two pounds of beef fill 24 dinner rolls. Spread the mixture on the bottoms, put the tops on, cover the tray with greased foil and bake for about 30 minutes, until everything is hot and the cheese has melted into the bread. The foil keeps the rolls soft rather than crusty. Serve them warm with sliced pickles, which cut through the richness of the filling. They reheat well, so they can be made ahead.

4
Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the Cheddar and mayonnaise.
5
Arrange the roll bottoms on the lined sheet, spread the beef mixture over them and put the tops on. Cover with the greased foil.
