In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula. Add the diced onions and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the pan. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoning salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the ground beef is fully browned and the onions are softened, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the pan.

While the beef is cooking, take the package of Hawaiian rolls. Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the entire block of rolls horizontally, keeping them connected, to separate the tops from the bottoms.

Place the bottom half of the Hawaiian rolls into the prepared baking dish. Spread the cooked ground beef mixture evenly over the bottom layer of the rolls. If using sliced cheese, arrange the slices over the beef. If using shredded cheese, sprinkle it generously over the beef layer to cover it completely.
