Whopper with Cheese Burger Sliders
I've worked at several restaurants in my life but the very first restaurant I ever worked at when I was 14 years old was Burger King. Is Burger King considered a restaurant or a fast food restaurant? Either way I lived the life of “may I take your order” and bagging fries the summer before entering high school. And every lunch break without fail I ordered a whopper with cheese, french fries, and a coke (I didn't even drink diet coke back then lol). So I thought about it and said well I have made my Big Mac Sliders with my special big mac sauce, but I never made my favorite fast food burger into a slider which is a whopper with cheese. If you have had my Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken, Loaded Cheese Fries, Coconut Shrimp, or Walkabout Soup then you know that I know my copycat recipes; ESPECIALLY when I worked there! These are going to be the best whopper sliders, cheeseburger sliders, or whatever you want to call them that you have ever had! Say goodbye to the drive through, get in that kitchen, and let's make it!
Ingredients
- 1.5 - 1.75 lbs ground chuck
- 1 tbsp lawry's seasoning
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 12 pack hawaiian rolls
- 6 slices of american cheese
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 3 tbsp mayo
- ⅛ of a onion chopped
- ⅛ of a tomato chopped
- ⅛ of a head of lettuce roughly chopped
- 8 - 10 dill pickle chips
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine ground chuck, lawry’s seasoning, and black pepper (DON'T OVERMIX IT).
- Grease a 9x13 baking dish and press the seasoned ground chuck into the baking dish, making sure it is in an even layer. Bake it in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.
- Slice open your hawaiian rolls. Grease a separate 9x13 baking dish and add in the bottom half of the buns. Once the meat patty is done, scoop it up with two spatulas and let the excess grease drip off. Then, add it on top of the bitton buns and use a paper towel to blot the top of the meat patty to remove excess grease. Add the slices of american cheese over the meat and transfer it back in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melty.
- While that's in the oven combine the ketchup and mayo. Spread that sauce evenly over the top buns and set it aside. Once the cheese is melty, remove the baking dish from the oven, and evenly sprinkle on the chopped onion, tomato, lettuce, and pickles. Top that with the top buns sauce side down and brush melted butter over the top of the buns. Lastly, garnish with some sesame seeds.
- Bake in the oven at 350°F for 6 - 8 minutes or until golden. Serve & enjoy!
