How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders (Step-by-Step)
1. Prep & Season
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt, pepper, Worcestershire, and chopped onion.
2. Form the Patties
Shape into 12 small patties—slightly larger than the slider buns (they shrink a little).
3. Cook the Patties
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook patties for 2–3 minutes per side.
They don’t need to cook through—they’ll finish in the oven.
4. Assemble
Place the bottom halves of slider buns on a baking sheet.
Top each with:
1.) A mini beef patty
2.) Half a slice of cheddar
3.) Half a slice of bacon
Cover with the top buns.
5. Bake
Wrap the entire tray loosely in foil.
Bake 10–12 minutes, until cheese melts and sliders are hot and steamy.
6. Serve
Serve warm with ketchup, mayo, mustard, and your favorite toppings.
And don’t forget the fries!

Tips for Perfect Sliders
- Don’t overmix the beef—keeps patties tender.

- Add a little butter on top before baking for extra richness.

- For extra cheesy sliders, add cheese above and below the patty.
