Steps to Create Your Mississippi Sin Sliders

Let’s get started on bringing these sliders to life! Each step is a nod to the family traditions and cooking experiences that have shaped my culinary journey.

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. This reminds me of my abuela’s patience as she taught me to blend ingredients to perfection.
3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Slice the slider buns in half horizontally without separating them, and place the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
5. Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the buns, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.
6. Place the top halves of the buns over the filling, pressing gently to secure.
7. Brush the tops of the sliders with the melted butter, infusing them with a rich, golden finish.
8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are just starting to turn golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm, allowing the cheese to melt perfectly with each bite.

Tips for Making the Best Mississippi Sin Sliders

Here are a few tips to ensure your sliders come out just right, inspired by the lessons learned at my grandmother’s side.

“Cooking is about using your senses,” my abuela always said, “watch, listen, and taste.”

• For an extra cheesy experience, add more cheddar or a mix of cheeses like Monterey Jack.
• Feel free to substitute turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon for a lighter option.
• If you like heat, add more cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
• Use fresh, high-quality buns for the best texture and flavor.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

These sliders are versatile and pair well with a variety of sides and drinks. Here are a few ideas to complete your meal:

• Serve with a side of crispy sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for balance.
• A cold, refreshing beer or a crisp white wine complements the rich flavors of the sliders.
• For a themed party, consider pairing them with other Southern favorites like coleslaw or corn on the cob.

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers (though I doubt you will!), store them properly to enjoy later:

• Place sliders in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, preheat your oven to 300°F and warm the sliders for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Avoid microwaving as it may make the buns soggy—always opt for the oven when possible.
