Juicy ground beef, crispy bacon, and melty cheddar cheese are packed into soft slider buns for the ultimate party appetizer. These easy bacon cheeseburger sliders are perfect for game day, potlucks, or family gatherings and come together in under 45 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 12 slider buns or mini rolls
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • Pickles, sliced (for garnish)
  • Ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces.
  2. In the same skillet, brown ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in onion (if using), Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes, mixing well.
  4. Remove pan from heat. Add chopped bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese melts and mixture is evenly combined.
  5. Slice slider buns horizontally, keeping tops and bottoms intact as two large sheets if possible. Lay bottoms in a greased baking sheet or casserole dish.
  6. Spoon beef-bacon-cheese mixture evenly over bun bottoms. Top with pickle slices if desired. Replace bun tops.
  7. Brush melted butter over bun tops. Sprinkle sesame seeds if using.
  8. Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, until buns are golden and cheese is bubbly.
  9. Use a sharp knife to slice into individual sliders. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite burger sauce.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free slider rolls. For vegetarian, substitute plant-based crumbles and veggie bacon. Shred your own cheese for best melt. Assemble sliders ahead and refrigerate before baking if needed. Brush buns with melted butter for golden tops. Let sliders cool for 2 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
