Instructions

Prep 18 min · Cook 2 min

In a small bowl, mix the ground beef with the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a thin patty about 3 1/2 inches wide.
Place two pieces of cheese and half the diced jalapeños in the center of each patty. Fold the edges of the beef over the filling and pinch the seams to seal it completely. Wrap three halves of turkey bacon around each slider, crossing them to cover the sides, and secure with toothpicks.
Mist a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Add the sliders to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, then rotate the sliders onto each bacon-covered side, spraying with more oil if the pan looks dry. Continue cooking until the bacon is browned and firm. Done when beef is 165°F in the center.
Remove the sliders from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.
