- Allow steam to release completely before removing the lid.
- Stir the chili and set to sear again, stirring frequently until it is very thick.
- While chili cooks, divide the remaining beef into twelve pieces and shape into small slider patties.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Pan fry the patties until cooked through or as you like them.
- Place cheese on cooked patties and melt in the microwave if you need to.
- Assemble sliders on split Hawaiian rolls topped with either one or two patties, and chili on top of the patties, with whatever other toppings you like (such as onion).
