BURGER SLIDERS WITH SECRET SAUCE

Burger Sliders with Secret Sauce image

These sliders are super easy to put together and are always a hit! I love that they are "fast food" without having to go to a restaurant. Take them to a party, make them for dinner or serve them on game day. The meat can also be made ahead of time in preparation for your gathering. -April Lee Wiencek, Chicago, Illinois

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup minced onion, divided
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 package (17 ounces) dinner rolls
1/2 cup Thousand Island salad dressing, divided

12 sliced dill pickles

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix beef, eggs, 1/2 cup minced onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper just until combined; do not overmix. Place meat mixture on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet; shape into two, 6-in. x 8-in. rectangles, each about 1/2-inch thick. Bake until a thermometer reads 160°, 15-20 minutes., Meanwhile, without separating rolls, cut rolls in half horizontally. Spread 1/4 cup of dressing evenly over bottom halves of rolls., Blot meat with paper towels to remove excess fat; top meat with cheese and return to oven. Bake until cheese has just melted, 2-3 minutes. Place meat on bottom halves of rolls; spread with remaining 1/4 cup dressing.
