SLIDERS! That’s right – I’m back and I’m back with sliders!
But, they aren’t just some boring normal sliders. Nope. They are baked bacon cheeseburger sliders. I took perfectly seasoned ground beef, mixed it with onions and garlic, topped it onto potato buns, and then covered it all with bacon, pickles, and cheese.
Heaven.
A meaty, pickled, and cheese-topped heaven.
Drool.
What do I need to make baked bacon cheeseburger sliders?
It only takes a few simple ingredients to make these sliders. All you need:
- ground beef
- onions and garlic
- potato rolls
- bacon
- bread and butter pickles
- sharp cheddar cheese
That’s it! Well, that’s not true. I forgot to mention the addition of ketchup and spicy brown mustard cooked into the meat! COOKED INTO THE MEAT! Ok, I didn’t mean to yell that but it’s pretty freaking delicious.
A lot of recipes that make baked sliders start with baking the meat first and then putting it onto the buns on a cooked sheet. While that sounds delicious I just didn’t want to put that much time into making sliders. So instead I opted to just brown the meat with all the flavors and pile that high onto the buns.
Yes, it’s a little bit messier but makes putting together these sliders SO EASY!

I also made sure to baste the buns with a little butter and sprinkle on some sesame seeds to really sell the whole “burger” thing. Plus it helps the buns toast up nice and golden.
Since I know everyone likes options let’s talk about how we can make adaptions to these sliders.
How can I change these baked bacon cheeseburger sliders?
- Try using ground turkey, ground chicken, or even ground pork instead of ground beef.
- Swap out bread and butter pickles for a hearty dill pickle or even a spicy pickle.
- Don’t like sharp cheddar cheese? Try provolone, Munster, or even swiss!
- Instead of using small 24-count potato rolls try using 12-count bigger slider-sized buns.
