Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders

Molly LaFontaine
My bacon cheeseburger sliders are simple to make in a small batch! Each bite is full of seasoned beef, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and creamy mayonnaise. When my husband and I are craving a burger out, I whip these up and they always hit the spot!

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound ground beef (a burger blend like 80/20 is my favorite)
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 pound bacon (I use uncured)
  • 6 small slices of mild cheddar cheese
  • mayonnaise of your choice (I use Chosen Foods avocado oil mayo)
  • 3 slider buns (I use homemade sourdough slider buns)

Instructions
 

Bake Bacon

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Lay bacon out on the pan so strips aren’t touching. Season lightly with a dusting of sea salt and ground black pepper (not included in ingredient measurements).
  • Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes or until crispy and fully baked.
  • Remove bacon from pan and set on a plate lined with paper towel or a napkin to remove excess grease. Cut each piece in half so they aren't as big. Set aside.

Make Burgers

  • While bacon bakes, shape ground beef into 3 patties and place on a plate and into the fridge to chill for a couple of minutes (this helps them not fall apart as easily).
  • Heat a stainless steel skillet on medium heat. No oil needed.
  • Add sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • Get patties out of fridge and season both sides with seasoning mix. Use it all.
  • Place burgers in warmed skillet and cook on medium heat for 6-8 minutes. Do not move while they cook. You can cover with a lid to prevent grease splattering.
  • Flip burgers and add cheese. Cook another 6 minutes or until they’re cooked to your liking.

Assemble the Sliders

  • Slice slider buns in half then spread the inside of the top bun with mayonnaise.
  • Add cooked beef patties to each bun and top with strips of bacon. Enjoy!
