Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 12 slices dill pickle chips
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp pickle juice

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onions, cooking until the meat is browned and crumbled. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess fat thoroughly.
  2. Slice the entire slab of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to create one large top and one large bottom. Place the bottom half in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. Spread the cooked beef evenly across the bottom rolls, then layer the sharp cheddar cheese slices and dill pickle chips over the meat. Place the top roll slab back on.
  4. Whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, and dried parsley. Use a pastry brush to coat the tops of the rolls evenly.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling. Increase heat or broil for the final 5 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
  6. Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and pickle juice in a small bowl to create the burger sauce for serving.
