I made these for the first time for a football gathering at a friend’s house with guests I did not know. I always get a little nervous making a new recipe, but then to make it for a party for people I don’t know very well…what was I thinking? But, no worries, everyone loved them!! These have a little bit of heat from the Ro-Tel tomatoes and a sweet drizzle over the top. The combination is excellent!! I made these a second time for Robby and a couple of his friends and the entire pan was GONE! Loved by both teenagers and adults!
INGREDIENTS
1 pound lean ground beef
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 small onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (10 ounce can ) Ro-Tel diced tomatoes, drained
12 slices cheddar cheese
12 slider rolls
FOR THE GLAZE
1/2 cup of butter
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon mustard
DIRECTIONS
+NOTE– the bottom buns can get slightly mushy, so I like to put the bottom buns under the broiler for just a couple minutes to brown them slightly to prevent the mushy bottom!!!
Preheat oven to 350. Coat a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray. Heat a large skillet on the stove top to medium high heat. Add the beef, salt, pepper, cumin, and mustard powder. Stir, breaking up the beef as you cook. Add the onion and garlic stirring occasionally until beef is browned and cooked through. Stir in drained tomatoes and combine well. Place the bottom half of the buns in the baking dish and broil for just a minute or two to slightly brown (you can skip this step, see above note). Top the buns with the beef mixture, add sliced cheese and top with the top bun.
Mix all of the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until smooth and combined. Pour glaze over the top of your buns and bake covered with foil for 20 minutes, remove foil and bake another 5 minutes.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!
