  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 slices cheddar cheese
  • 12 dinner rolls
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted, plus more for greasing baking sheet
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F. Butter the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet.
    Heat olive oil In a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add diced onion and ground beef, break up with a spatula.
    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sautee over medium/high heat, breaking up the beef, and cook just until cooked, add garlic, cook 1 minute.
    Remove from heat, spoon off, and discard excess fat. Stir in mayo. Slice rolls in half lengthwise and place the bottoms in the baking sheet. Try to keep the bread in 2 pieces, top, and bottom. 
    Spread ground beef mixture evenly over the bread. Cover the ground beef with slices of cheese.
    Place the top of buns, cut-side down, over the burgers. Brush tops with 2 Tbsp melted butter and immediately sprinkle tops with sesame seeds. Bake at 350˚F for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.
