Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

Ground beef is the most popular cut of beef in America. It is estimated that 40% to 45% of beef is consumed as ground beef, and when beef is prepared for meals eaten at home, ground beef is used 60% of the time. This could be because ground beef is convenient, versatile and a crowd pleaser. 

An obvious option for how to prepare ground beef is in the form of tacos, hotdish or even sloppy joes. But this is a staple recipe in our household. Another great tip is to consider browning an extra pound of hamburger and freezing it in a Ziploc container, clearly labeled. 

These sliders are made with Hawaiian Rolls. Who doesn’t love Hawaiian Rolls?! I don’t know who invented these suckers, but man, they are addictive and can take any boring sandwich to the next level. The ground beef makes it a crowd pleaser for the whole family.
