Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. lean ground beef
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 white onion diced
• 12 slices of cheese
• 12 Hawaiian roll sliders
• 1/2 Bell pepper chopped (optional)

For Glaze (optional)

• 1/4 butter melted
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons of packed brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tablespoon of sesame seeds

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine the beef and spices in a bowl. Press the beef into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish into a flat and even layer. Bake for 20 minutes. Drain the liquid and set aside.
3. Chop the beef up into fine pieces so there are no lumps left.
4. In a large skillet over medium/high heat add the olive oil. Add in the diced onion and bell peppers. Stir to coat. Cook until onion is translucent and fragrant. Drain excess oil and set aside.
5. Slice the rolls in half lengthwise. Place the bottom half in the same baking dish.
6. Top the bottom half of the rolls with the cooked beef, then the onions, then slices of cheese in a single layer.
7. In a small bowl combine the melted butter and all other ingredients for the butter topping. (optional, see note)
8. Brush the tops of the rolls liberally with melted butter (or pour it over) mixture and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melty.
9. Slice into individual sliders and serve hot. Enjoy!
