How to Make the Best Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls Recipe

Cheeseburger Filling – In a large skillet cook ground beef and onion together over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain excess grease from the pan.
Add Seasonings – To the skillet add Worcestershire, steak seasoning, salt and garlic powder. Mix well, simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Slider Buns – Using a serrated knife, cut the rolls through the middle. Place bottom buns on pan. Set the top half aside. Brush both cut sides with melted butter reserving some to brush the top.
Assemble Sliders – Arrange 6 slices of cheese on the bottom half of the rolls.
Meat Mixture – Spread cooked meat mixture over cheese. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard, just eyeball the amount to your taste.
Layer Pickles and Bacon – Arrange pickles and bacon crumbles over the ground beef. Top with remaining 6 pieces of cheese.
Brush Tops with Butter – Place top buns over cheese slices and glaze with reserved melted butter mixture. Sprinkle tops of the rolls with sesame seeds.
Oven – Cover loosely with foil. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven per the cook time in the recipe until lightly toasted and the cheese has melted.

Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

Protein Substitutions – Depending on your diet you could replace the ground beef with ground turkey or ground chicken for the slider filling. You could also adapt this recipe using hamburger patties.
Cheese – I use classic cheddar cheese for the edible “glue” for these rolls. You can also adapt using colby cheese, monterey jack cheese, American cheese or pepper jack cheese slices. Use your favorite flavor of sliced cheese. Whatever cheese you enjoy on a cheeseburger will work.
Slider Rolls – While I make this particular recipe with those irresistible Hawaiian sweet rolls, you can use mini slider rolls, butter-style Hawaiian rolls or potato rolls, if you prefer.
Use Sweet Pickles or Dill Pickles – You can use classic dill pickles or bread and butter pickles for these sliders, according to your personal taste.
Use a Quality Steak Seasoning – The flavor of the ground beef filling is directly affected by the quality of the steak seasoning that you use. Use a quality seasoning blend that you enjoy, and adjust the amount for the best end result.
Toppings – You can add lettuce, sauteed mushrooms, or tomatoes after baking, if desired.
Side Dishes to Serve with Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders – You can serve these sliders along with Southern baked beans, sweet potato wedges, homemade french fries or homestyle macaroni salad or potato salad.
Cut Apart for Serving – To serve these slider rolls, use a sharp knife to cut along the edges then separate into individual sliders and enjoy. Avoid pulling them apart or the cheese could pull the filling.

Storage and Leftovers

Make-Ahead Tip – You can fully assemble these slider rolls one day in advance, then wrap in aluminum foil and place into the refrigerator. When doing so, wait to brush with butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds just before baking.
Leftovers – Store baked Bacon Cheeseburger Hawaiian Sweet Rolls Sliders in an airtight container chilled in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating – Reheat in single servings in the microwave or you can reheat several at one time in an air fryer or on a sheet pan in a 350°F oven.
Freezer – You can cool and freeze sliders wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat just before serving.
