About

These are cheeseburgers built for a tray rather than a grill. Instead of shaping twelve small patties, the beef is browned loose with chopped onion and seasoned with ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire and garlic powder, then spread over a whole slab of Hawaiian rolls and covered with Monterey Jack.

The part that makes them memorable goes on top. Butter is melted with brown sugar and the rest of the Dijon and Worcestershire into a glaze that is poured over the rolls before baking. The sweet rolls and the sweet, tangy glaze play against the savoury beef and the cheese. Keep the rolls joined when you slice them, so the sliders bake as one piece and stay moist. Bake them covered for fifteen minutes so the cheese melts, then uncovered for about ten more to brown the tops, and cut them apart only when serving.

Recipe

1
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease an 11x7-inch baking dish lightly.
2
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the onion for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks. Pour off the fat.
3
Stir in the ketchup, 2 teaspoons of the Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons of the Worcestershire and the garlic powder, then season with salt and pepper.
4
Slice the whole slab of rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls joined, and set the bottom half in the baking dish.
5
Spread the beef over the rolls, cover with the Monterey Jack and put the top half back on.
6
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar and the rest of the Dijon and Worcestershire. Cover loosely and heat for about 1 minute, until the butter melts.
7
Stir the glaze and pour it over the tops of the rolls.
8
Bake covered for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake about 10 minutes more, until the cheese melts and the tops turn golden.
