Ingredients
These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:
🛒 For the Sliders:
-
🐄 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or lean)
-
🧂 1 tsp garlic powder
-
🧂 1 tsp onion powder
-
🧂 Salt & black pepper, to taste
-
🥓 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
-
🧀 8 slices cheddar cheese or American cheese
-
🍔 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally
-
🧅 1 small onion, finely diced (optional for sautéing with beef)
-
🥒 Pickles, optional for topping
🧈 For the Butter Glaze:
-
🧈 3 tbsp butter, melted
-
🧄 ½ tsp garlic powder
-
🌿 1 tsp dried parsley
-
🧂 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then crumble into pieces.
In the same skillet, add the ground beef and onion (if using). Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, then drain any excess fat.
Place the bottom halves of the slider buns into the prepared baking dish. Evenly spread the cooked beef over the buns. Add a layer of crumbled bacon, followed by a layer of cheese slices to cover the entire surface.
Add the top halves of the buns. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, parsley, and salt, then brush generously over the tops of the sliders.
Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Use a sharp knife to slice into individual sliders and serve hot, optionally topped with pickles, ketchup, or your favorite burger sauce.
Notes
These sliders are hard to mess up, but here’s how to make them next-level:
-
👩🍳 Drain the beef well – Avoid soggy buns by getting rid of excess grease.
-
🧈 Butter brush = flavor boost – Don’t skip the glaze—it adds color, flavor, and a perfect soft crunch.
-
🧀 Don’t skimp on cheese – You want full coverage and that melty stretch.
