Crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and fresh lettuce—chopped together and piled high on buttery slider buns. Perfect for parties, game day, or an easy weeknight bite.
Ingredients
1 lb thick-cut bacon, chopped
1½ cups cherry or Roma tomatoes, diced
1½ cups iceberg or romaine, finely chopped
½ cup mayo (or garlic aioli)
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt & black pepper to taste
12 slider buns (brioche or Hawaiian)
Butter for toasting buns
Optional add-ins: shredded cheddar, avocado, a pinch of smoked paprika
How to Make
Crisp the bacon
Cook chopped bacon in a skillet (cast iron is great) until golden and crispy. Drain excess grease.
Chop & mix
Add tomatoes and lettuce to the skillet with the bacon. Toss just until warmed (don’t wilt the lettuce).
Creamy finish
Stir in mayo and lemon juice. Season with salt & pepper (and smoked paprika if using).
Toast buns
Butter slider buns and toast until lightly golden.
Assemble
Spoon the chopped BLT mixture onto buns. Add cheese or avocado if you like. Serve hot!
Pro Tips
Keep lettuce crisp: add it last and toss quickly.
Extra crunch: sprinkle with crushed kettle chips before serving.
Make it spicy: a drizzle of hot honey or a pinch of chili flakes
