Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ small yellow onion, diced (about ¼ cup)
  • 2 teaspoons light brown sugar packed
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup (120 g) beef broth
  • ¾ cup (169 g) ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • cups (169.5 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 package (12-count) King's Hawaiian Rolls

Topping

  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, onions, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix and continue cooking until the beef is no longer pink (8-10 minutes). Drain excess grease if necessary.
  • Add in the beef broth, ketchup, and mustard. Stir to combine.
  • In a small dish, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Pour into the beef mixture and stir, cooking until thickened.

Assembly

  • Split your rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
  • Spread the Sloppy Joe mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls.
  • Evenly sprinkle the cheese over the top.
  • Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese.
  • In a small dish, whisk together the melted butter, salt, and sesame seeds. Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
  • Remove foil, and bake for an additional 5 minutes (or until the tops of the sliders turn a golden brown).
  • Remove from oven, slice, and serve. These are best served hot.
