SPECIAL SAUCE: In a small bowl, whisk or stir together all the ingredients until well combined; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
SLIDERS: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, and minced onions. Press the beef mixture into a 9x13-inch rimmed baking sheet or dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Remove the beef patty from the oven. Using paper towels, absorb all the excess grease and discard. Top the patty with cheese and place it back in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt. Remove from the oven and cut into 12 square patties.
Meanwhile, slice the buns in half lengthwise. Place the bottom slider buns on a serving dish. Spread the bottom buns with half of the sauce, top with shredded lettuce, followed by the beef and cheese patties.
Sprinkle chopped onions overall, then place 2-3 pickles over each slider. Spread the remaining sauce over the inside of the top buns. Cover the sliders with the top buns. Brush the tops with butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
