Ingredients for Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders
- 80/20 ground beef – 80/20 beef is the perfect mix for burgers! It’s not too greasy, but still has enough fat to produce a wonderful juicy and flavorful burger.
- Bacon – Thick cut hickory smoked bacon is our most favorite to use on these mini cheeseburger sliders! However, any tasty bacon will do.
- American cheese – American cheese is a classic for bacon cheeseburger sliders, but you can replace it with other types of cheese.
- Hawaiian sweet rolls – Using Hawaiian sweet rolls as slider buns takes these Blackstone bacon cheeseburger sliders to the next level.
- Gimme Some Grilling beef seasoning – We, of course, will always recommend our amazing seasonings! However, if you do not have this seasoning you can use whatever favorite beef seasoning you have on hand. Or, make your own beef rub!
- Diced onion – Yellow onion or white onion provide the best flavor for burgers!
- Butter – Use salted or unsalted butter to butter the Hawaiian rolls before toasting them.
How to Make Blackstone Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders
Preheat the Blackstone to a low heat, and while it is preheating prep the ground beef.
Place ground beef on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and press it out into a rectangular shape, slightly larger than the Hawaiian rolls. Set it aside.
Cut the sheet of rolls in half horizontally to have a top and bottom bun for each slider, then set it aside for later.
Once the Blackstone has preheated, cook the slices of bacon. After the bacon is cooked, move it to the side and add the diced onions onto the bacon grease.
When the onions are almost cooked through, season with beef seasoning. Mix them well so that they are evenly coated in seasoning, then make them into a rectangle the same size as the burger patties.
Flip the burger rectangle onto the cook onions and allow the beef to cook halfway through on the onions. Then, flip the patty to the other side.
While the Blackstone bacon cheeseburger slider patties cook, spread butter onto the insides of the Hawaiian rolls.
Place the rolls, butter side down, on the griddle and let them toast. Remove from the Blackstone.
Then, top the cooked burger patty with slices of cheese so that the cheese can melt and become gooey.
Once the cheeseburger patty is fully cooked, place it onto the bottom of the toasted Hawaiian rolls. Then, chop up the bacon and sprinkle it onto the melted cheese.
Add the top sheet to the patty, then cut into individual sliders. Serve immediately with your favorite condiments.
What to Serve with Blackstone Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders
After you’ve topped your burgers with your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, and burger sauce, you need to make some sides to go with it!
French fries are of course the most classic side to serve with a delicious burger, so why not make some loaded pulled pork fries! But, if you want to go the more traditional route with regular fries then you can make air fryer french fries! Perfectly crispy and delicious.
Or, go the healthier route with grilled cauliflower, grilled sweet potatoes, or grilled zucchini. Fire up the smoker and make these smoked vegetables for a tasty side dish as well.
BBQ baked beans are always a hit with burgers too!
How to Store Leftover Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders
Place leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not store leftovers with condiments on the bun, or the bun can become soggy.
To reheat, place sliders in the oven until heated through. We do not recommend you freeze leftover Blackstone sliders.
Can I use different cheese?
You can use whatever type of cheese you would like! Sharp cheddar, mild cheddar, provolone, and Swiss are just a few of the cheese slices that would taste absolutely perfect on these burgers.
What temperature should a griddle be for sliders?
A Blackstone need to be at 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit when cooking sliders. Use an infrared thermometer to check the temperature and ensure it is hot enough to cook the beef well.
Pro Tips!
- Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers to ensure they are fully cooked. It should be 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve these bacon cheeseburger sliders with a plate of fixin’s. Sliced tomatoes, lettuce, avocado slices, etc.
- The seasoned onions add quite a bit of flavor to the meat, but feel free to season the beef a bit more before pressing it out into a rectangular patty.
