  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 package of 12 Dinner Rolls
  • 2 lbs of Ground Beef
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion, Minced Fine
  • 12 slices of Kraft American Cheese
  • 1 Cup of Shredded Lettuce
  • 12 to 15 Hamburger Dill Pickles (slices)
  • 1/3 Cup of Thousand Island Dressing
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 1 Tablespoon of Toasted Sesame Seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon of Butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons of Salt (or to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons of Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon of Black Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons of Minced Onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced onion, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and whisked eggs. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Divide the meat mixture in half and form two rectangles, each slightly larger than 6 rolls. This will fit perfectly on the rolls without needing to separate them.
  4. Place the meat rectangles on a baking sheet and sprinkle with additional minced onion if desired. Ensure even thickness for uniform cooking.
  5. Bake for approximately 12 minutes, keeping an eye on the meat to prevent over or undercooking.
  6. While the meat is baking, slice the rolls in half horizontally to create tops and bottoms.
  7. Spread about two tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing on the bottom halves of the rolls.
  8. Once the meat is cooked, remove excess fat with a paper towel, then place the meat rectangles on the dressed roll bottoms.
  9. Top each meat rectangle with cheese slices and return the tray to the oven for a minute or two to melt the cheese.
  10. Remove from the oven, add shredded lettuce and pickle slices, and cover with the top halves of the rolls.
  11. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
