Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese 1 oz slices
- 12 slices thick cut bacon
- 12 small slider rolls
- salt and pepper optional
- tomato, onion, lettuce for serving optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a sheet pan with foil, or use wire rack insert.
- Lay bacon in a single layer on one of the foil lined baking sheet (with or without rack), making sure not to overlap.
- Spread the beef out in an even layer on the second pan, about 1/4 inch thick. . Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper.
- Place both pans in the oven and cook the bacon for 15 - 20 minutes until desired crispness. The beef will be well-done at 20 - 22 minutes. Remove the pan containing beef from the oven at the halfway cooking point, and pour off any fat. Replace the pan in the oven to finish cooking.
- Remove the pans from the oven and set the bacon aside.
- Separate the top and bottom halves of the buns. Place the bottom half of the slider buns on a baking sheet.
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the beef into 12 even squares placing one square on each bun bottom. Cut each cheese slice into 4 squares and place 2 cheese slices on top of each beef square. Cut bacon slices in half and place both halves on top of the cheese on each slider.
- Put the pan back in the oven for 2 - 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove the sliders from the oven and top with the other half of the bun.
