Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 12 slider buns
- 12 slices cooked bacon
- 12 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 medium onion, sliced thinly
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Optional: pickles, lettuce, tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, then form it into 12 small patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Set them aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the onions in olive oil until golden brown and caramelized (about 5 minutes).
- Brush the top and bottom of each slider bun with BBQ sauce. Place a cooked patty on each bun.
- Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese, a piece of bacon, and a spoonful of caramelized onions.
- Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly toasted.
- Serve immediately with optional garnishes like pickles, lettuce, or tomatoes.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef patties if preferred.
- To prevent soggy buns, toast them lightly before assembling the sliders.
- For added flavor, try using a smoky BBQ sauce or a tangy mustard sauce.
- Assemble the sliders ahead of time and store in the fridge until ready to bake.
