Ingredients

Scale

Sliders:

  • 1 package Original Hawaiian Sweet 12 Pack Dinner Rolls
  • 1 pound lean ground beef*
  • ½ tsp rubbed sage
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper
  • 8 ounces mushrooms ((diced))
  • ½ cup onion ((diced))
  • 3 cups spinach ((chopped))
  • 2 ounces mozzarella cheese**

Topping:

  • 1 Tbsp butter ((melted))
  • ¾ tsp dried onion
  • ¼ tsp dried garlic
  • ½ tsp poppy seed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine the ground beef, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper in large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the beef is nearly cooked though. Add the chopped mushrooms and onions to the pan and continue cooking until the onions, mushrooms, and beef are cooked through. Add the spinach to the pan and cook for another minute or two, until the spinach has just wilted. Remove from heat and stir in the mozzarella.
  3. Line a baking sheet with a large sheet of tin foil. (You will wrap the sliders in the tin foil, so make sure it is a long enough sheet to enclose them.) Cut the Hawaiian rolls open and place the bottom half of the rolls onto the tin foil. Evenly spread the meat across the bottom half of the buns and put the top of the rolls on top of the meat.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, dried onion, dried garlic, and poppy seeds. Spread the mixture on top of the rolls. Close the tin foil over the rolls and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove the rolls from the oven and carefully pull back the tin foil so that the tops of the rolls are exposed. Put the rolls back in the oven and bake for five more minutes, or until the tops have browned.
  5. Remove the sliders from the oven and enjoy!

* I use 93/7. If you opt for a fattier beef, make sure you add the spices after you’ve drained off any fat so that those spices don’t run down the drain.
