Ingredients
For the bake:
- 2 (17-ounce) packages Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 20 slices American cheese or cheddar cheese divided
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion drained
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon pepper
- 24 bacon strips cooked and broken into 1-inch pieces
For the glaze:
- 1 cup butter cubed
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease two 9x13-inch baking pans.
- Cut each package of the rolls in half horizontally without separating them.
- Place the bottoms of the rolls in the prepared baking pans.
- In each pan, place 5 slices of the cheese on the bottom halves of the rolls.
- Bake until the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a large skillet, cook the beef and the onion over medium heat, while crumbling the meat, until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is tender, about 6-8 minutes.
- Drain the fat from the skillet.
- Stir the tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of the mustard, 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire sauce, the salt, and the pepper into the meat mixture and cook, while stirring, until it is combined, about 1-2 minutes.
- Evenly spoon the beef mixture over the melted cheese in the baking dishes.
- Top the meat mixture with the bacon and the remaining cheese.
- Place the roll tops on top of the cheese.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, the brown sugar, the remaining Worcestershire sauce, and the remaining mustard.
- Microwave the mixture on high heat, covered and stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted.
- Pour the glaze over the rolls and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
- Bake the sliders, uncovered, until they are golden-brown and heated through, about 20-25 minutes.
- Serve.
