Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf Sliders are mini meatloaves shaped into a slider burger. They are topped with bacon and cheese! They are like having a mini meatloaf sandwich topped with crispy delicious bacon inside of a toasty slider roll!
This month for the Secret Recipe Club I was assigned the blog I was Born to Cook - written by Melissa. I became familiar with Melissa's blog through the SRC, so its a fairly new blog to me. Melissa is of Italian Heritage while her husband's family is Greek. The best of both worlds in my opinion! Therefore, she has a lot of pasta on her blog - which of course I LOVE. But, wouldn't you know it, I went with something that had no pasta in it at all.
Grumpy would love Melissa's kitchen. She has a lot of beef on her table - much more than I put on ours! So, because he loves beef and he loves meatloaf with pickles in it, when I saw this recipe she had on her blog for Cheeseburger Meatloaf Muffins, I knew I would be using that recipe for my SRC post. Of course, my mind always takes recipes I see in different directions a lot of the time, just like it does many other foodies out there. I decided that I was going to make the meatloaf mixture without the cheese in it and turn it into slider patties topped with bacon and cheese.

Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf Sliders
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 small onion diced
- ½ cup Italian Flavored bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 heaping tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 3 American Cheese Slices
- 4 slices cooked bacon
- 12 slider rolls
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray and add onion. Saute 5 minutes, or until onion has softened.
- In a large bowl, mix until just combined the ground beef, sauteed onion, breadcrumbs, eggs, ketchup, pickle relish, and mustard.
- Spray slider pan or skillet with cooking spray.
- Scoop ¼ sized portions and place sliders in slider frying pan or shape into small burgers and place in hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until desired doneness.
- Toast slider buns and assemble burger topping with cheese and bacon.
Notes
- If using a slider pan, there is no need to flip the sliders to cook each side. The slider pan has a press that goes on top of the burger and allows the slider to cook through evenly.
- If using a skillet, cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.

I'm not a big burger/meat eater, but my husband would love those and they do look good. We'd go for dill pickles though.
Katherine Martinelli
Mmmm I love that you turned these into sliders!! My husband would love it with the pickles but I think I'd leave them out of mine.
Veronica Miller
