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 (3-4 scallions)

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

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

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Step 2: Lay out the bacon on a parchment-lined sheet tray and bake until crisp, about 15-20 minutes. Drain on paper towels, let cool, then chop into small pieces. Keep the oven on.
3. Step 3: Using a very sharp slicing knife, slice the entire ham into thin slices and set aside.
4. Step 4: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced scallions, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
5. Step 5: Add the cooked bacon to the cheese mixture and mix until well combined.
6. Step 6: Slice the slider rolls in half and spread the cheese and bacon mixture evenly over both the tops and bottoms of all 18 rolls.
7. Step 7: Distribute the sliced ham evenly among the bottom halves of the rolls, folding larger slices as needed to fit the size of the rolls, then place the tops on each slider.
8. Step 8: Arrange each slider tightly packed into a 9×13-inch baking pan or a similarly sized pan depending on your roll size.
9. Step 9: Brush the tops with melted butter, cover the pan with parchment paper and foil, then bake for 10 minutes.
10. Step 10: Remove the cover and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese mixture is warm and bubbly.
11. Step 11: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm.

Tips & Variations

• For an extra kick, add more hot sauce to the cheese mixture or sprinkle some cayenne pepper over the top before baking.
• Try swapping out the cheddar cheese for pepper jack or smoked gouda for a different flavor profile.
• If you prefer a less creamy texture, reduce the sour cream or mayonnaise slightly.
• Use Hawaiian rolls instead of traditional slider rolls for a sweeter contrast to the savory filling.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 325 degrees F for about 10 minutes to maintain their texture, or microwave individual sliders for about 30 seconds until warm.

• 1 10-ounce block yellow cheddar cheese, shredded (approximately 3 cups)

Dairy and Sauce

Vegetables and Seasoning

• ½ cup scallions minced small, tops and bottoms (3–4 scallions)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Breads and Other

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

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F to prepare for baking both the bacon and the sliders.
2. Cook the bacon: Lay out the thick-cut hardwood smoked bacon strips on a parchment-lined sheet tray and bake in the oven until they are crisp and golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the bacon, drain on paper towels to remove excess grease, let cool, then chop into small pieces. Keep the oven on for the next steps.
3. Slice the ham: Using a very sharp slicing knife, carefully slice the 3-pound boneless ham into thin, even slices. Set these slices aside.
4. Prepare the cheese spread: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded yellow cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced scallions, a dash of hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir well to create a creamy, flavorful spread.
5. Add bacon to the spread: Fold the chopped crispy bacon pieces into the cheese mixture, ensuring everything is thoroughly combined.
6. Prepare the slider rolls: Slice each of the 18 soft pull-apart slider rolls in half horizontally. Evenly spread the prepared bacon and cheese mixture onto both the top and bottom halves of all the rolls.
7. Assemble the sliders: Distribute the thin slices of ham evenly across the bottom halves of the rolls. Fold larger slices as needed to fit the rolls properly. Then, place the top halves of the rolls over the ham.
8. Arrange in baking pan: Place the fully assembled sliders tightly packed into a 9×13-inch baking pan or a pan that accommodates the rolls without too much space.
9. Brush with butter and cover: Brush the tops of the sliders generously with melted butter. Cover the pan with parchment paper and foil to keep the sliders moist during baking.
10. Bake covered: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 10 minutes with the cover on to heat through and meld the flavors.
11. Bake uncovered: Remove the parchment and foil cover and continue baking the sliders for an additional 15 minutes until the tops are golden and slightly crisp.
12. Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

• Using a sharp knife to slice the ham will create thinner, more even slices ideal for sliders.
• Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the level of heat in the spread.
• Ensure the bacon is fully crisped to add a satisfying crunch and smoky flavor.
• Covering with parchment and foil during initial baking helps keep sliders moist and prevents the tops from drying out.
• These sliders are best served fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven.
