Ingredients
Scale
1 (12 count) package Hawaiian sweet rolls
2 pounds ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup water
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Add the water and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Press the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, forming a single layer that matches the size of the rolls. Bake the beef for 15 minutes until mostly cooked through. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
While the beef bakes, slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the rolls connected.
Remove the beef from the oven. Place the bottom half of the rolls over the cooked beef layer in the baking dish. Sprinkle the cheddar and Swiss cheese evenly over the meat.
Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and poppy seeds. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the rolls.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
Remove from the oven. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing them individually between the rolls. Serve immediately for your graduation party menu.
Notes
For extra flavor, add thinly sliced dill pickles on top of the cheese before adding the top roll layer.
You can prepare the seasoned beef mixture a day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator.
Serve these mini burgers with your favorite condiments like ketchup and mustard on the side.
