Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 90% lean ground beef
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion finely diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 12 connected potato dinner rolls
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Brown beef, onion and pepper in a skillet for 7 to 8 minutes until the meat reaches 160°F, breaking it into fine crumbles; drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire, mustard, brown sugar, water, salt and pepper. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until thick enough to mound.
  3. Slice the connected rolls horizontally as one slab. Place the bottom half in a snug baking dish and distribute the hot filling evenly across it; replace the top slab.
  4. Mix melted butter and garlic powder and brush over the rolls. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Uncover and bake for 4 to 5 minutes until the tops are golden. Rest for 5 minutes, then cut between rolls; each slider counts as one serving.
