Directions To Make These Delicious BLT Sliders

Ready to get started? Love that this is an easy recipe to make and is actually a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen and teach them a way to make them a snack whenever they are ready. Since this recipe involves frying bacon, I suggest that a grown up always be around.

Step #1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step #2: Make the bacon

Prepare the bacon as directed on the package. Drain and pat off any excess grease. Set to the side and keep covered to keep the pieces warm.

Step #3: Prepare the buns.

Slice the sliders horizontal to separate the tops and bottoms. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until desired darkness is reached.

Pro Tip: For better color, texture, and flavor on the buns, butter both sides before toasting.

Once the buns are removed from the oven, lay the tops of the buns down and add about 1 tablespoon mayo to the underside of each bun. Alternatively, you can just use a knife and spread it all over the underside if you’re in a hurry. Works just fine both ways.

Step #4: Assemble Your BLT sliders recipe

Place one slice of tomato on each bottom bun, or more if you’re a tomato lover.

Add two slices of bacon on top of each of the tomatoes, side-by-side.

Add your lettuce of choice, however much you may desire.

Place the top buns onto the bottom buns.

Final Step:

If you desire, use a toothpick with one cherry tomato and a piece of kale to garnish each sandwich. Gently separate the sandwiches before serving for easier grabbing and enjoy!

Such a simple recipe that is full of flavor. If you are like me, you can also add just a smidge of salt on your tomatoes for an added zap. A few sprinkles of pepper will be great as well.

Additional Things To Make With This Recipe

You can make these as a quick lunch for yourself, or you can serve them with several other recipes to make it a complete meal. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Looking to stick to an appetizer theme? Why not make some baked cheesy dip or sausage and cream cheese croissants?
2. Soup is always a great option, so why not have some homemade creamy corn chowder?
3. Potatoes are ALWAYS an appropriate side, and this recipe for loaded mashed potato casserole is no exception.
4. And if you wanted a heartier side, definitely think about making this easy stuffed pepper recipe.
5. And who can say no to instant pot mac & cheese. I know I can’t.

Whatever sides you decide on, you will have a well-rounded and delicious meal that can feed a large group or perfect for a day in the office.

Managing Leftovers For This BLT Sliders Recipe

What is the best way to store leftovers?

You can store them in an airtight container for four days. I don’t recommend freezing since the lettuce and tomato won’t be the same texture when frozen.

What is the proper way to reheat this BLT sliders recipe?

When reheating these sliders, wrap them first in aluminum foil and place it in the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes. During the reheating process, it ensures that your sandwich will not become soggy or dry since it will be heated evenly.

An alternative way to reheat them is to use an air fryer. Simply set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). A brief preheat ensures an even and efficient cook. Air fry about 5 minutes and you should be all ready to enjoy!
