Creating these sliders is as straightforward as my grandmother’s biscuit recipe, but with a modern twist. Here’s how to make them:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
3. Form the mixture into small patties, about the size of your slider rolls.
4. Cook the patties in a skillet over medium heat until they’re browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
5. Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping them attached, and place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Place a beef patty on each roll bottom, then top with a generous spoonful of BBQ sauce, a slice of cheese, and a sprinkle of crumbled bacon.
7. Place the top halves of the rolls over the sliders. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
