Pro Tips for Success:

  • Make ahead magic: Cook your bacon and slice your tomatoes the day before your party to save time on the big day.

  • Crispy bacon trick: Bake your bacon in the oven for even crispier, flatter slices that layer perfectly in sliders.

  • Add a flavor boost: Mix your mayo with a little garlic powder or lemon juice for a zesty kick.

  • Lettuce swap: Try butter lettuce or spinach if you want something a little fancier or softer than iceberg.

  • Make it spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or a slice of jalapeño if your crowd likes a little heat.

  • Go veggie: Make a vegetarian version using plant-based bacon or thick-sliced avocado for a meat-free option.

  • Presentation matters: Use colorful toothpicks or mini party flags to match your theme and make these sliders extra festive.
