  During the last minute of cooking, cut the cheese slice into four squares and place two squares on each patty to melt.

• 7

  Lightly toast the slider buns in the skillet or a toaster until golden brown.

• 8

  Spread yellow mustard on the bottom buns, then layer with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion.

  Place the cheesy beef patties on top of the vegetables and finish with the crispy bacon slices before closing with the top buns.
