Easy American Sliders

Author Joe

Ingredients

  • 1 lb hamburger 85/15 or 80/20 works best
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 package 12 oz Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
  • American cheese slices cut into smaller squares
  • hamburger pickles
  • ketchup and mustard optional

Instructions

  1. Slice onion, keeping slices whole. (Do not split layers apart)
  2. Slice buns in half making a top and bottom bun. Butter each half.
  3. Heat two skillets to medium heat over stove. (One for burgers and one for the rolls).
  4. Divide hamburger into 9 to 12 equal sections, depending upon desired size.
  5. Roll into hamburger balls then pat down down with a square lid, making the patty about 3" square (they should be very thin). Note: A small plastic container lid works great!
  6. Place an onion round on top.
  7. Spray skillet with cooking spray and place hamburger patties on top with onion side down. Cook 3 minutes and turn, cooking until hamburger is completely cooked and juices run clear.
  8. Melt cheese over hamburger.
  9. While hamburgers are cooking, brown buttered rolls in other skillet until a golden brown.
  10. Assemble burgers, adding pickles and desired condiments.
  11. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

Alternatively, use a small portable grill to cook the burgers onion side up. (This is our preferred method.)
