In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown.
Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cook the beef until fully browned, then drain off any excess grease.
While the beef cooks, carefully slice the sheet of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to create a top and bottom slab.
Spread mayonnaise evenly over the cut side of both the top and bottom slabs of rolls.
In a clean, non-stick pan over medium heat, place the roll slabs mayo-side down and toast for a few minutes until golden brown and crispy. Repeat for both slabs.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bottom slab of toasted rolls on a baking sheet, toasted side up.
Layer half of the American cheese slices (about 6) over the bottom buns.
Spread the cooked ground beef evenly over the cheese.
Top the beef with the caramelized onions.
Add the remaining slices of American cheese on top of the onions.
Place the top slab of toasted rolls on top to complete the sliders.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.
Remove from the oven, slice into individual sliders, and serve immediately.
Store cooled sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat wrapped in foil at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.
Caramelizing onions typically takes 20-30 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they turn deep golden brown and sweet.
Yes, you can form the patties and caramelize the onions a few hours ahead. Assemble and grill the sliders just before serving for best texture.
Butter the cut sides of the rolls and grill them face-down on a skillet or griddle over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until golden and crispy.
Yes, cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack work well, though American cheese melts most smoothly due to its emulsifiers.
Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb before cooking—this prevents them from puffing up and shrinking unevenly.
