For the Sliders:

Directions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess fat and mix in the diced bell pepper if using.
- Prepare the Sliders: Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half without separating them, creating a top and bottom slab. Place the bottom half in a baking dish.
- Layer the Ingredients: Spread the cooked beef evenly over the bottom slab of rolls. Place a layer of cheese slices over the beef. Place the top half of the rolls on top.
- Make the Butter Topping: Combine melted butter, poppy seeds, dried minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake: Cover the sliders with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Let the sliders cool for a few minutes, then cut into individual servings and enjoy while warm and gooey!
