  • Familiar ingredients with plenty of flavor.
  • About 50 minutes from prep to table.
  • Easy to round out with a peppery green salad.

What you’ll need

Keep everything measured and close by before you start. You’ll find the full quantities in the printable recipe card below.

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter, divided
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 12 slider rolls
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Let’s make it

  1. Get ready

    Heat the oven to 350°F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet and cook onions over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring.

  2. Build the flavor

    In a separate skillet, brown beef with salt and pepper until it reaches 160°F; drain and add Worcestershire sauce.

  3. Bring it together

    Place the lower halves of rolls in a baking dish. Layer beef, onions, and cheese, then add the roll tops.

  4. Finish cooking

    Brush with remaining melted butter. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 12 minutes.

  5. Serve and enjoy

    Uncover for 3–5 minutes to lightly toast the tops; cut apart and serve.

Make It Even Better

Give the onions time to soften and turn golden rather than raising the heat.

Read through the recipe and measure the ingredients before starting.

Make it your own

Use provolone instead of Swiss or add sautéed mushrooms.
