Juicy, smoky, and cheesy sliders made with ground beef, crispy bacon, tangy BBQ sauce, and melted cheddar on buttery brioche buns. Perfect for quick parties or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 6 thick-cut bacon strips
  • 12 brioche slider buns
  • 6 cheddar cheese slices
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • Optional toppings: sliced pickles, lettuce, tomato slices, red onion rings

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F). If using a grill pan, heat it on the stovetop over medium-high.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into 6 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
  3. Grill the bacon strips for 4-5 minutes per side until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Place beef patties on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness. During the last minute, brush BBQ sauce on each patty and top with a slice of cheddar cheese. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
  5. Spread softened butter on the cut sides of the brioche buns and toast cut-side down on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
  6. Assemble sliders by placing each cheesy patty on the bottom bun, topping with a bacon strip, extra BBQ sauce if desired, and optional toppings. Add the top bun and gently press down.
  7. Serve warm immediately.

Notes

Press a small dimple in the center of patties to prevent puffing. Toast buns over indirect heat to avoid burning. Grill bacon and patties simultaneously to save time but watch for flare-ups. Rest patties briefly before assembling to keep buns from getting soggy. For gluten-free, use gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps.
