Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon (about 6 oz), cooked and chopped
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
  • 1 package (12-count) slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickles (optional)
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomato
  • Extra pickles
  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • Mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Line a large rimmed sheet pan (13×18 inches) with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lay bacon strips on a separate pan and bake at 375°F for 15-18 minutes until crispy. Drain and chop.
  3. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, diced onion, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently.
  4. Spread beef mixture evenly onto the parchment-lined pan, forming a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Press down firmly.
  5. Bake beef layer for 18-20 minutes, until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
  6. Remove pan from oven. Layer cheese slices evenly over hot beef, then sprinkle chopped bacon on top. Return to oven for 2-3 minutes, until cheese melts.
  7. While beef is baking, slice slider buns in half horizontally. Arrange bottom halves on another parchment-lined tray.
  8. Carefully lift beef/cheese/bacon layer using parchment edges and transfer onto bun bottoms. Top with condiments and pickle slices if desired.
  9. Place top halves of buns over assembled sliders. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  10. Return assembled sliders to oven for 6-8 minutes, until buns are warm and slightly toasted.
  11. Use a sharp knife to cut the slider slab into 12 individual pieces. Serve hot with lettuce, tomato, and extra pickles.

Notes

For best results, use King’s Hawaiian rolls for sweetness and soft texture. Mix onions into beef for moisture. Use sliced cheese for optimal melt. For gluten-free or dairy-free, substitute buns and cheese as needed. Toast buns lightly to avoid sogginess. Sliders can be made ahead and reheated. Customize with jalapeños, barbecue sauce, or different cheeses for flavor twists.
