Cheeseburger Sliders with Hawaiian Rolls

Preheat oven to 350°
Spray two 9-inch by 13-inch pans with non-stick spray. (Or you can use a single 10-inch x 14-inch pan for this recipe of 24 sliders but it's a tight fit!)
Leaving the sheets of slider buns intact, cut each sheet horizontally in half, then arrange each sheet of bottom halves across the bottom of each 9 x 13 pan. (Reserve the top sheets of rolls for later in the recipe.)
2 pkgs. Hawaiian sweet rolls, 12 oz. each
Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheddar cheese over the bottom buns in the pan.
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble the ground beef with the diced onion (or onion flakes) until the beef is fully cooked throughout (no longer pink and 165 degrees F internal temperature).
Remove the skillet from the heat and drain all fats from the beef mixture.
2 lbs. lean ground beef, 1 medium yellow onion, diced
Return the skillet to the burner over medium heat; stir in the drained diced tomatoes and green chilies, ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce; stir until well combined and heated throughout, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
14 oz. can diced tomatoes and green chilies, 1 cup ketchup, 2 Tbs. spicy brown mustard, 1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
Spoon the prepared beef mixture evenly over the cheese and the rolls in each baking dish, then top with 1 cup shredded cheese. Sprinkle the cooked, chopped bacon over the cheese; top the bacon layer with sliced pickles.
Lastly, add the reserved sheets of slider buns as the top and final layer of the sliders.
1 lb. center-cut smoked bacon, Sliced hamburger dill pickles
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Using a silicone basting brush, brush the butter mixture all over the sliders, letting it run down the sides.
Sprinkle the sliders with sesame seeds, if using.
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted, 2 Tbs. packed dark brown sugar, 1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce, 1-2 Tbs. spicy brown mustard, 1 Tbs. toasted sesame seeds, as garnish
Bake the sliders, covered with foil, for 20-25 minutes, removing the foil during the last 10 minutes of the baking time.
Sliders should be golden brown on top and hot throughout. Enjoy at once!
