Ingredients

• ½ pound Hatfield Thick-Cut Hardwood Smoked Bacon
• 1 3-pound Hatfield Classic Boneless Ham
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 10-ounce block yellow cheddar cheese, shredded (approximately 3 cups)
• 1 8-ounce container sour cream
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• ½ cup scallions, minced small (tops and bottoms, about 3-4 scallions)
• Dash of your favorite hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1½ dozen soft pull-apart slider rolls
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Step 2: Lay the bacon strips on a parchment-lined sheet tray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp. Drain on paper towels, let cool, then chop into small pieces. Keep the oven on.
3. Step 3: Slice the entire ham into thin slices using a very sharp knife. Set aside.
4. Step 4: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced scallions, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
5. Step 5: Add the chopped cooked bacon to the cheese mixture and stir until well combined.
6. Step 6: Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally. Spread the cheese and bacon mixture evenly on both the tops and bottoms of all 18 rolls.
7. Step 7: Divide the sliced ham evenly among the 18 bottom roll halves, folding larger slices to fit if needed. Place the tops over the ham.
8. Step 8: Arrange the sliders tightly packed in a 9×13-inch baking pan or a pan large enough to hold all the sliders comfortably.
9. Step 9: Brush the melted butter over the tops of the sliders, then cover the pan with parchment paper followed by aluminum foil.
10. Step 10: Bake covered for 10 minutes, then remove the cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese spread is melted.
11. Step 11: Remove sliders from the oven and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Tips & Variations

• For extra smokiness, use smoked cheddar or add a few drops of liquid smoke to the cheese mixture.
• Swap jalapeños or chili flakes for hot sauce to adjust heat level according to taste.
• Use different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
• Make vegetarian sliders by skipping the ham and bacon, adding sautéed mushrooms or roasted veggies instead.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350-degree F oven for about 10-12 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving to keep the rolls from becoming soggy.

• ½ pound Hatfield Thick-Cut Hardwood Smoked Bacon
• 1 3-pound Hatfield Classic Boneless Ham
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 10-ounce block yellow cheddar cheese, shredded (approximately 3 cups)

Dairy & Condiments

• 1 8-ounce container sour cream

• Dash of your favorite hot sauce

• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Bread & Butter

• 1½ dozen soft pull-apart slider rolls
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for baking the bacon and sliders later.
2. Bake Bacon: Lay out the ½ pound of thick-cut hardwood smoked bacon on a parchment-lined sheet tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels, then cool and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
3. Slice Ham: Using a very sharp slicing knife, thinly slice the entire 3-pound boneless ham. Set the slices aside for assembling the sliders.
4. Prepare Cheese Spread: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded yellow cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced scallions, a dash of hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well to create a creamy, flavorful spread.
5. Add Bacon to Spread: Fold the chopped, cooked bacon pieces into the cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.
6. Slice Rolls: Carefully slice each of the 18 soft pull-apart slider rolls in half horizontally.
7. Assemble Sliders: Spread the prepared cheese and bacon mixture evenly over both the tops and bottoms of all the rolls. Then, layer the thin slices of ham evenly across the bottom halves of the rolls, folding larger slices if needed to fit the roll size. Top with the roll tops.
8. Arrange in Baking Pan: Place each fully assembled slider tightly packed into a 9×13-inch baking pan or a similarly sized pan to keep them snug during baking.
9. Butter and Cover: Brush the melted butter over the tops of the sliders to add richness and encourage browning. Cover the entire pan with parchment paper and aluminum foil to retain moisture.
10. Bake Covered: Bake the sliders in the oven, covered, for 10 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
11. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and parchment cover and continue baking uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until the tops are slightly golden and bubbly.
12. Serve Immediately: Remove the sliders from the oven and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

• You can substitute the Hatfield ham and bacon with similar quality smoked ham and thick-cut bacon if unavailable.
• Adjust the amount of hot sauce according to your spice preference.
• For ease, pre-shredded cheddar cheese can be used instead of shredding a block yourself.
• Use parchment paper under bacon to help with easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
• Sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated covered in a low oven to retain moisture.
