Instructions
Bacon:
Preheat the oven to 425F degrees and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Lay bacon slices side by side in one layer.
Brush each bacon strip with bourbon. Sprinkle each bacon strip with brown sugar and rub it over the strips evenly.
Bake for 13-20 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of bacon.
Sliders:
Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat. Add some oil and onions, mix well. Let onions cook for a few minutes. Once onions start to brown, add mushrooms. Season with some salt and pepper, mix well, and let the veggies cook until soft and done. Take off heat.
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
Take slider buns out of the package and cut them in half, with a serrated knife, to create bottom halves of buns and top halves of buns.
Place the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish. (I like to separate the buns just a little bit.)
Place a bacon strip on each bottom bun.
Divide mushroom and onion mixture among all the buns.
Top off with the top buns.
Topping:
Melt butter in a small bowl and stir in pressed garlic clove and brown sugar. Mix well.
Brush the tops of the slider buns with the butter mixture, generously.
