Ingredients
- 24 King’s Hawaiian Rolls
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 ounce taco seasoning divided
- ½ cup butter melted
- 10 slices Colby Jack cheese adjust as needed to fully cover the meat layer
- Optional toppings: pickled jalapeños shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, diced onions
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Cook the Taco Beef:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef.
- Drain excess grease.
- Stir in half of the taco seasoning packet plus 1–2 tablespoons water (optional).
- Cook for 1–2 minutes until well coated, then remove from heat.
Prep the Rolls
- Without separating the rolls, slice the entire sheet horizontally to create a top and bottom slab.
- Place the bottom half in a baking dish.
Assemble the Sliders
- Spread the taco beef evenly over the bottom rolls.
- Lay the 10 slices of Colby Jack cheese across the beef, overlapping as needed so the cheese covers the entire layer.
- Place the top slab of rolls back on.
- Make the Taco Butter: Mix the ½ cup melted butter with the remaining half packet of taco seasoning until smooth.
Brush & Bake:
- Brush the taco butter generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. (optional)
- Remove foil for the last 3–5 minutes if you want the tops extra golden.
Serve
- Slice into individual sliders and serve warm. Add toppings like shredded lettuce, sour cream, salsa, or jalapeños if desired.
