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!
1/2poundground beef(a burger blend like 80/20 is my favorite)
1tspfine sea salt
3/4tspground black pepper
1/4tsponion powder
1/4tspgarlic powder
1/2poundbacon(I use uncured)
6small slices of mild cheddar cheese
mayonnaise of your choice(I use Chosen Foods avocado oil mayo)
3slider 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!
