Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ¼ cup truffle butter
- 8 slices bacon
- 4 oz cream cheese
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Mini slider buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles
Optional Add-Ins & Swaps
- Use Wagyu beef or ground chuck for extra richness
- Swap cream cheese for goat cheese or Boursin for a tangy twist
- Add caramelized onions or roasted red peppers to the filling
- Toast the buns with garlic butter for even more flavor
Instructions
- Cook the bacon
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, chop finely. - Make the beef mixture
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, truffle butter, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined. - Form the patties
Divide the beef mixture into small, thin patties—you’ll need twice as many patties as sliders (top and bottom layers). - Make the filling
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and chopped bacon until smooth and evenly combined. - Stuff the sliders
Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese filling onto half the patties. Top with a second patty and pinch the edges to seal tightly. - Cook the sliders
Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat. Cook stuffed patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely browned. - Toast the buns
Lightly toast the slider buns in the skillet or under the broiler. - Assemble and serve
Place each cooked slider on a toasted bun. Add lettuce, tomato, or onion if desired. Serve immediately while warm and melty.
Tips for Success
- Seal patties well to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
- Don’t press the sliders too hard while cooking—let them sear.
- Use cold filling to help it stay intact inside the patty.
- Pre-cook and keep warm in a low oven for party serving.
Serving Suggestions & Pairings
Serve these indulgent sliders with:
- Crockpot Nacho Dip for a cheesy pre-game snack
- Sheet Pan Quesadillas to round out a casual party spread
- A chilled glass of Blueberry Lemonade to balance the richness
- End with Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites for a sweet bite-sized dessert
Storage & Leftovers
- Fridge: Store cooled sliders in an airtight container for up to 3 days
- Reheat: Warm in a skillet or oven to retain texture
- Freeze: Freeze uncooked stuffed patties. Cook from frozen, adding 2–3 extra minutes
