bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon reduces fat content while maintaining flavor.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories without sacrificing too much flavor.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a bowl, combine 2 pounds of lean ground beef with pepper, salt, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 3 tablespoons Southern flavor seasoning.

Add 1/2 cup of chopped red onion to the beef mixture and mix with clean hands.

Divide the beef mixture in half and shape into two large patties.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and press one beef patty into an even layer in the pan.

Layer 12 slices of cheese (pepper jack, Havarti, and cheddar) evenly over the beef patty.

Press the cheese firmly into the beef layer.

Take the second half of the beef mixture and press it into an even layer over the cheese layer, ensuring the edges are squared off.

Lay 12 pieces of bacon across the top of the beef layer, tucking the edges in for uniformity.

If desired, crosshatch the bacon or lay it in one direction, ensuring it covers the beef.

Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes.

After baking, allow the sliders to rest.

Prepare a sauce by mixing 1/4 cup Dukes mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce, and 1/4 cup Dijon mustard.

Spread the sauce on both sides of the slider buns.

Using a long-handled spatula, lift the meat and bacon mixture and place it on the bottom buns.

Top with the top buns and cut the sliders apart with a knife.

Serve with optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
