Turkey bacon ranch sliders are delightful and flavorful little sandwiches. They are perfect for busy evenings when time is tight. In fact, these miniature sandwiches are a staple in our home, especially during sports nights, as they are not only quick to prepare but also ready in under 30 minutes. They also make for excellent take-along meals for family road trips or casual gatherings, bringing convenience without sacrificing taste.
Turkey Bacon Ranch Sliders Ingredients
The sliders include crispy, oven-fried bacon that is perfectly cooked until golden and crunchy. We use Fresh Baked Slider that are soft and fluffy, enhancing the freshness. I typically bake the bacon in the oven at 400°F for about 10 minutes on a sheet pan. Baking rather than frying ensures the bacon is uniformly cooked and piping hot by the time we’re ready to assemble the sliders.
For the cheese, I recommend Co-jack, a smooth and mild blend of Colby and Monterey Jack varieties. Its subtle flavor complements the sliders beautifully, so that the other ingredients can shine without being overpowering. Interestingly, this delightful cheese was first crafted in our beloved home state of Wisconsin.
As for the freshest ranch, I prepare a batch of homemade Ranch Dressing. Its vibrant, fresh taste adds a delightful zing to the sliders. Homemade Ranch Dressing can easily be refrigerated for up to a week, making it a versatile condiment for other dishes too.
The Fresh Baked Slider Buns are an essential part of the sliders. These buns remain fresh for up to two days post-baking. To be prepared for busy nights in the future, I like to bake several batches in advance and store them in the freezer. A quick thaw on the counter the morning of our intended slider diner means I can quickly pull together a meal that everyone will enjoy.
Turkey bacon ranch sliders are universally adored by both kids and adults alike. While the little ones typically indulge in one or two sliders, adults find themselves reaching for more, savoring every bite. We love to accompany our sliders with a refreshing side salad or crisp, fresh-cut vegetables, adding an extra layer of nutrition to our meal.
