Steps

You’ll need: rimmed baking sheet (about 9x13 inches), parchment paper, serrated knife, food thermometer, small bowl.

  1. Heat the oven to 400Β°F and line the baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Mix the beef with the salt, pepper, onion powder and Worcestershire gently. Press it into an even rectangle on the pan, about the size of the sheet of rolls. Wash your hands.
  3. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until a food thermometer in the center reads 160Β°F (USDA). Carefully pour off the fat. Lay the cheese over the top and bake 1 minute to melt.
  4. Slice the sheet of rolls in half sideways without separating them. Set the bottoms in the pan or on a clean sheet, spread with the sauce, and lift the cheesy patty onto them with two wide spatulas. Add the pickles and the tops.
  5. Brush the tops with butter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake 5 to 8 minutes, until toasted. Cut into 12 sliders.
