Start by cooking your ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your French onion seasoning packets directly to the raw beef and cook until the beef is golden brown. Drain the fat if needed.

Remove the ground beef from the heat and set it aside to cool for a few minutes. While the beef is cooling, prep your slider buns.

I prefer Hawaiian rolls for this recipe, but any other slider dinner roll works. Use a sharp serrated knife and cut the entire loaf evenly in a horizontal cut. Keep the buns connected. This gives you one large top bun and one large bottom bun. Repeat on the second loaf and set aside.

Prep either a large baking dish or large sheet of foil and spray with non-stick spray. The buns will stick on the top and bottom if you skip this step.

Go back to your beef mixture and add the shredded cheese and the mayo and use a spatula to fully mix and combine everything together.

Place your bottom buns into the dish or over the foil so they are side by side and touching. Scoop all of your beef mixture and pour it evenly onto the bottom buns.

Add any other toppings like pickles, bacon, onions, etc. Then cover with the slices of cheddar or American cheese.

Add the top buns and press down lightly. Wrap in foil or if using a baking dish, cover the top with foil.

Bake or smoke your pull apart sliders in a preheat 350 F. degree oven (or smoker on indirect heat). Cook until heated through and the cheese has melted, about 25-30 minutes.

Melt the butter in a small bowl and brush over the top of the buns and then garnish with sesame seeds for a more authentic burger bun feel.

Place on a platter and allow your guests to grab and go as needed! You can slice these too if you desire.
