Instructions
Place oven rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9" x 13" baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion, and break up the beef with a spatula. Season with black pepper, salt, and garlic powder, and stir to combine. Cook until beef is browned and cooked through, then remove skillet from heat. Spoon away any excess fat and juices.
To the beef, add ketchup, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika, and stir until evenly combined.
Slice the rolls in half horizontally, all the rolls still attached to each other. Place the bottom layer of rolls in the prepared baking dish.
Place 4 slices of cheddar over the bottom layer of rolls, cutting the cheese as needed to fit.
Spread the seasoned ground beef in an even layer over the cheese slices, using the spatula to create a squared-off edge around the entire perimeter.
Place remaining 4 slices of cheddar over the top of the ground beef, cutting the cheese as needed to fit.
Top individual sliders with 2 pickle slices each. Then place the top layer of rolls on top, and press down gently to snuggle everything together.
Brush melted butter over the tops and immediately sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Cover pan tightly with foil. Place pan on center rack and bake 15-20 minutes, until thoroughly warmed. Remove foil and bake 1-3 minutes more, until cheese is melty and tops are toasted to your liking.
Remove from oven and let rest a few minutes. Offer extra ketchup on the side for dipping, if desired.
Notes
Easy to double - just use two 9" x 13" baking dishes or place both sets of sliders in one 10" x 15" pan.
