Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Take 2 lbs of 80/20 ground beef and press it into a cookie sheet or half sheet tray, spreading it evenly to fit the tray.

Spread finely diced white onions on top of the beef.

Season the beef with salt and pepper, ensuring even distribution.

Place the tray in the fridge while preparing toppings and buns.

Melt 1 stick of butter in a pot over medium-high heat, then add chopped garlic, cooking until fragrant but not browned.

Add fresh chopped parsley to the garlic butter just before using it.

Use Trader Joe's Hawaiian rolls, leaving them in a slab and cutting them down the middle without separating them.

Broil the beef in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until cooked through, checking for doneness.

Drain excess liquid from the cooked beef into a bowl.

Cut the cooked beef in half with a spatula and fit it onto the slider buns.

Layer cheese slices on top of the beef, overlapping them as desired.

Add ketchup and pickles on top of the cheese, placing one pickle per slider.

Place the tops of the buns on the assembled sliders.

Brush the garlic parsley butter generously over the tops of the buns.

Cover the assembled sliders with foil and bake in the oven for 5 minutes to steam and meld the flavors together.

Remove from the oven and cut between the sliders to serve.
