Directions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Cook the Beef: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling hot, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
Sauté the Onions: Add the sliced onion and sauté until tender, about 2-3 minutes.
Make the Sauce: Stir in the soy sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Rolls: Slice the dinner rolls in half lengthwise and place the bottom halves on the lined baking sheet.
Assemble the Sliders: Spread the beef mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and sliced pickles (if using). Place the top halves of the rolls on top.
Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the sliders are golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
Serve: Slice the sliders and serve warm.
