Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- 12 slider buns
- 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup diced pickles
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mustard
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the spices are evenly combined.
3. Shape the seasoned beef mixture into 12 small slider patties.
4. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until they become nicely browned.
5. Once the patties are browned, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Allow the cheese to melt over the warm patties.
6. On each slider bun, generously spread ketchup and mustard, followed by a cheese-topped patty. Sprinkle the patties with crumbled bacon, diced pickles, and shredded lettuce.
7. Finally, place the top bun on each slider. Serve warm.
Notes
To ensure your Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders are nothing short of perfection, consider the following tips:
Don’t overcook the patties; they should still be slightly pink in the center for maximum juiciness.
Cover the skillet with a lid while the cheese melts to create steam, which helps it melt evenly.
Toast the buns lightly to create a barrier against moisture, preventing sogginess.
