Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders (Wendy's JBC Copycat)
Jr Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders are a fun handheld easy meal that is so perfect for game days or just a delicious dinner any day of the week. There are few fast food burgers as nostalgic and classic as the Wendy's Jr Bacon Cheeseburger. A soft pillowy bun, tender beef, crispy bacon, creamy mayo, and fresh crisp lettuce and tomato.
Servings: 9 sliders
Ingredients
- 1 pack hawaiian slider buns
- 1 lb. ground beef 80/20
- 6 slices American cheese, cut in half
- 1 pack bacon avoid thick-cut so it'll be thin and crispy
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1 Roma tomato, sliced
- 1/4 head iceberg lettuce
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Start by cooking bacon on the stove in a large skillet over medium low until crispy. Set bacon aside and wipe out excess grease from the pan. Spread ground beef into a flattened large square. Cut into 9 equal sized square patties, about 4”x4”.
- Season the burger patties with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high in the same skillet, flipping just once, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Spread bottom buns with mayo. Add burger patty, top with cheese and put in the oven on broil for just 2 minutes to melt the cheese if needed. Add tomato slices, then top with lettuce.
- Spread the underside of the top buns with a thick dollop of mayo, place them on top of the sliders. Then slice and serve!
