Salt and pepper as needed

2 tablespoons sweet relish made from pickles
20 -
1/4 cup ketchup
# Instructions:
01 -
Fire up your oven to 350°F and spread softened butter on the bottom of a baking sheet.
02 -
In a medium pan, add olive oil over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the ground beef and break it up as it cooks, about 6-7 minutes, until there's no pink left. Once done, drain off the grease and mix in the mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and some pepper. Let it cook for another minute.
03 -
Cut the rolls in half, placing the bottoms onto the buttered baking dish. Layer 8 cheese slices down first, then evenly spread the beef mixture on top—press it down gently. Top it off with the remaining cheese slices and the roll tops.
04 -
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with a pinch of salt and garlic powder. Brush this mix over the tops of the rolls, then sprinkle on sesame seeds. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is gooey and the buns are warm. If the tops start browning too fast, cover loosely with foil.
05 -
While the rolls are baking, use a whisk to mix mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl until it's smooth.
