Mini cheeseburgers fáciles en 30 minutos

Ingredientes

• 2 lb lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7 fat content)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 large yellow onion, finely diced
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 8 slices medium cheddar cheese
• 6 oz medium cheddar, shredded (or additional sliced cheese)
• 24 dinner rolls (or 2 packs of 12)
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing baking sheet
• 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
• 1/2 Tbsp olive oil

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350˚F. Butter the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet generously to prevent sticking and add flavor.

2. 2

   Cook Onions and Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the finely diced onion and sauté briefly before adding the 2 pounds of ground beef. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Break up the beef with a spatula and continue cooking until the beef is fully cooked through. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Drain Excess Fat and Mix Mayo: Tilt the skillet carefully to spoon off and discard excess fat. Stir in 1/4 cup mayonnaise into the cooked beef mixture to add moisture and richness.

4. 4

   Assemble Sliders: Slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves onto the buttered baking sheet. Layer each with a slice of cheddar cheese, then spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the cheese using the back of a spatula to square off the edges. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar on top of the beef.

5. 5

   Add Tops and Season: Place the top halves of the buns, cut side down, over the layered beef and cheese. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and immediately sprinkle sesame seeds evenly on top.

6. 6

   Bake Sliders: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown and lightly crisp.
