 Step by Step Instructions

 STEP 1: 

I dropped a pound of lean ground beef into a large skillet over medium high heat.

I added some diced onions to the skillet as well.

 STEP 2: 

I crumbled the ground beef well and continued cooking the ground beef and onions until the beef was fully browned.

 STEP 3: 

I added some crumbled bacon, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to the skillet.

I stirred until all of the ingredients were well combined and continued cooking for a few minutes to crisp up the bacon.

 STEP 4: 

I added some BBQ sauce to the skillet and stirred until all of the meat was well coated in sauce.

I removed the skillet from the heat and set it aside.

 STEP 5: 

I opened a package of King’s Hawaiian rolls and sliced horizontally through the center to separate the tops from the bottoms.

I placed the bottom buns on a parchment lined baking sheet.

 STEP 6: 

I sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom buns.

Then I spooned the ground beef mixture evenly over top.

 STEP 7: 

I sprinkled more shredded cheddar over the beef.

Then I sprinkled crispy fried onions on top of the cheese.

 STEP 8: 

I placed the top of the buns on and then brushed them with melted butter.

I sprinkled some everything bagel seasoning over the buns.

 STEP 9: 

Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook the sliders for about 14 minutes to toast them up nicely.

Then the sliders were ready to cut apart and serve.

These sliders are saucy, cheesy, and packed with flavor in every bite—exactly the kind of recipe people ask for again and again. Make a batch once and they’ll be on repeat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to cook the bacon first?

How do I store leftovers?

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
