Ingredients

- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 12 strips bacon
Cheese & Add-ons
- 6 slices American cheese (or cheese of choice, halved)
- Optional burger sauces: ketchup, mayo, mustard
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Bacon
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil and lay out bacon strips.
- Bake until crispy, about 15–20 minutes. Set aside on paper towels to drain.
Step 2: Cook the Beef & Onions
- In a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and diced onions.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook until beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain any excess grease.
Step 3: Prep the Rolls
- Without separating the rolls, slice them in half horizontally using a serrated knife.
- Place the bottom half in a baking-safe tray or dish.
Step 4: Assemble the Layers
- Start with a layer of crispy bacon.
- Lay cheese slices evenly across the bacon.
- Spoon the hot beef and onion mixture over the cheese to help it melt.
- Add burger sauces if using.
- Cap with the top half of the rolls.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and rolls are warmed through.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
- Slice into individual sliders and serve hot.
Pro Tips & Serving Suggestions
