Burger Sliders with Baconnaise Sauce

Burger Sliders with Baconnaise Sauce: Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders

If you’re looking to level up your backyard cookout, game day spread, or weekend BBQ, these Burger Sliders with Baconnaise Sauce deliver big flavor in a small package. Juicy beef, melty cheese, crispy bacon, and soft sweet Hawaiian rolls come together to create what might just be the ultimate bacon cheeseburger sliders.

Smoked low and slow, then finished with a creamy, smoky baconnaise sauce, these sliders are guaranteed to disappear fast—especially when served alongside French fries.

Why These Burger Sliders Are So Good

What makes these sliders stand out is the technique and the balance of flavors. Instead of traditional patties, the meat mixture is formed into one large slab and smoked, locking in moisture and creating deeply savory juicy beef.

Cubes of cheddar melt inside the burger as it cooks, giving you pockets of cheese in every bite—perfect for fans of smash burgerswho want something richer and heartier.

The homemade baconnaise sauce is the real star. Made with mayo, cooked bacon, hot honey, and just enough spice, it’s creamy, smoky, sweet, and slightly spicy all at once. It even rivals bacon jam cheeseburger sliders in flavor, but with a smoother, more spreadable texture.

Ingredients for Burger Sliders with Baconnaise Sauce

Burger Sliders

• 2 lbs 80/20 ground beef
• 1 King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (orange pack)
• 2 tbsp burger seasoning
• ¼ cup Bachan’s Original (adds umami similar to Worcestershire sauce)
• 4 oz cheddar cheese block, cubed into ½ x ½ inch pieces
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced

Baconnaise Sauce

• ½ cup mayo
• ½ cup crispy bacon, crumbled
• ¼ cup sweet relish
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp hot honey
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chives, finely sliced
• ½ tsp black pepper

How to Make Burger Sliders with Baconnaise Sauce

1. Make the Burger Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cubed cheddar cheese, Bachan’s Original, burger seasoning, egg, and breadcrumbs.

Mix until just combined. Overmixing can make the sliders dense, so aim for a cohesive but tender meat mixture.

2. Form the Sliders

Remove the rolls from the packaging and use the white tray they come in as a mold. Press the burger mixture evenly into the tray, making sure the thickness is consistent for even cooking.

3. Smoke the Burger

Carefully transfer the burger slab onto an oiled wire rack. Place it on a smoker set to 250°F and smoke for 45 minutes.

This low temperature allows the fat to render slowly, keeping the beef juicy and flavorful.

4. Cook the Bacon and Onions

While the burger smokes, slice the bacon and cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined pan.

Using 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease, cook the sliced onions over medium heat for 10–12 minutes.

The onions will be done when they’re soft, lightly caramelized, and packed with flavor thanks to a touch of brown sugar sweetness from the bacon fat.

5. Make the Baconnaise Sauce

In a small bowl, combine all baconnaise sauce ingredients.

Mix thoroughly until smooth then refrigerate until ready to use. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

6. Finish and Assemble

Remove the burger from the smoker once it reaches an internal temperature of 150°F. Slice to fit the rolls.

Toast the sweet Hawaiian rolls and brush them lightly with melted butter for extra richness. Assemble the sliders with baconnaise sauce, the smoked burger patty, more sauce, caramelized onions, and ultimate burger slices of bacon if desired.

Serving Suggestions

These sliders pair perfectly with French fries, onion rings, or a simple coleslaw. Whether you’re serving a crowd or just indulging at home, these sliders bring everything you love about a bacon cheeseburger into an easy-to-eat, flavor-packed bite.
