Ingredients & Preparation
Creating the perfect Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders starts with the right ingredients. For me, the key is freshness and quality—after all, the simpler the ingredients, the more important each one becomes. Here’s what you’ll need to bring this mouthwatering creation to life:
Key Ingredients for Perfect Sliders:
- Goetta: If you’ve never had Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders before, it’s a type of sausage made from pork, beef, and steel-cut oats. It’s full of flavor and adds an amazing texture to the sliders. You can usually find it in the breakfast sausage section of your local store or make your own by combining ground meats with oats and seasonings.
- Bacon: Crispy bacon is a must for these sliders. The smokiness of the bacon complements the Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders beautifully, and the crisp texture adds the perfect crunch. Choose a good quality, thick-cut bacon for the best results.
- Slider Buns: Opt for soft, yet sturdy slider buns. I prefer brioche buns for their slight sweetness, but feel free to use your favorite type of bun. Just make sure they’re substantial enough to hold the hearty patties without falling apart.
- Cheese: I recommend a mild cheese like cheddar or Swiss. It melts beautifully and adds richness to the sliders.
- Condiments: A dollop of Dijon mustard or a smoky barbecue sauce can elevate the flavor. You can also add a touch of pickles for a little zing if you like the extra bite.
How to Prepare the Goetta Bacon Patties:
To get the Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders patties just right, start by mixing your goetta ingredients. If you’re making it from scratch, combine the ground pork, beef, steel-cut oats, and seasoning. If you’re using pre-made goetta, just crumble it into a bowl. Form the mixture into small, slider-sized patties.
Once your patties are formed, it’s time to cook the bacon. You can cook the bacon on the Blackstone griddle, which adds a nice smoky flavor. As you cook the bacon, set it aside on paper towels to drain, and then break it into pieces that will top the sliders.
While the bacon is cooking, use the griddle to cook the goetta patties. The key to a great slider is cooking them to a nice, crispy golden brown on the outside, while keeping them tender on the inside. This is where the Blackstone griddle really shines, as it ensures even heat distribution. Be sure to flip them carefully so they don’t break apart. When they’re done, stack them up and get ready to assemble the sliders.

Cooking Techniques & Tips
Now that you have your Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders patties and bacon ready, it’s time to cook them to perfection. The Blackstone griddle is the secret to getting that perfect sear on the goetta while keeping the bacon crispy and full of flavor. Here’s how to achieve that:
The Best Way to Cook on the Blackstone Griddle:
The Blackstone griddle offers a large cooking surface, making it easy to cook several sliders at once, especially if you’re serving a crowd. To start, preheat the griddle to medium-high heat. This ensures the griddle gets nice and hot, perfect for achieving a crispy crust on the goetta patties.
Place the goetta patties on the griddle and let them cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a beautiful golden-brown crust forms. Flip them carefully with a spatula to avoid breaking the patties. The griddle’s even heat distribution helps cook the patties thoroughly while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
As the goetta patties cook, you can use the griddle’s versatile surface to cook your bacon at the same time. Lay the bacon strips flat on the griddle, cooking them until they’re perfectly crispy. Be sure to turn the bacon regularly to avoid burning and to ensure an even crispiness.
Once both the bacon and goetta patties are cooked, it’s time to assemble your sliders.
How to Get Perfectly Crisp Bacon for Sliders:
The trick to getting the best bacon for your Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders is not to rush it. Thick-cut bacon is ideal because it cooks more evenly and holds its texture better when placed on the sliders. Make sure the bacon is cooked to a crispy consistency, but not too brittle. The perfect bacon for sliders should bend slightly but still have a satisfying crunch.
Once cooked, place the bacon on paper towels to drain excess grease. Then, break each strip into smaller pieces, perfect for placing on top of your Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders.

With the goetta patties crispy on the outside and the bacon perfectly cooked, it’s time to put everything together. But before we do that, let’s talk about how to serve these sliders for maximum flavor and visual appeal in the next section.
Serving & Enjoying
Now that your Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders are perfectly cooked and ready to go, it’s time to assemble and serve them. The way you present your sliders can make all the difference, so let’s look at some creative ways to serve these delicious little bites, along with perfect side dishes to accompany them.
Creative Ways to Serve Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders:
Once your goetta patties and crispy bacon are stacked on your slider buns, it’s time to get creative with the presentation. One option is to lightly toast the slider buns on the Blackstone griddle to add a golden, crispy texture. A toasted bun elevates the slider experience, providing a satisfying crunch when you bite into it.
If you want to get extra fancy, top your sliders with a slice of melted cheese. Mild cheddar, Swiss, or even a pepper jack for a little spice work wonderfully. For an added layer of flavor, consider spreading a bit of Dijon mustard, BBQ sauce, or even a creamy garlic aioli on the buns before assembling.
For added texture and flavor, you can top the sliders with crispy lettuce or fresh pickles. A small dollop of a tangy sauce, like ranch or spicy mayo, can also take your Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders to the next level.
Pairing Your Sliders with Tasty Sides:
When it comes to sides, you can never go wrong with classic comfort foods. Here are a few that complement your Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders perfectly:
- Smoked Mac and Cheese: Rich, creamy, and comforting, smoked mac and cheese is a delicious side that pairs wonderfully with the savory flavors of the sliders. The smokiness from the griddle adds an extra layer of depth.
- Grilled Vegetables: If you’re looking for a healthier option, grilled vegetables, like zucchini, peppers, and onions, add freshness and a touch of charred flavor to balance out the richness of the sliders.
- Crispy Fries or Tater Tots: For a classic American BBQ vibe, you can’t go wrong with crispy fries or tater tots. The crispy exterior and soft interior work well alongside the sliders, adding a satisfying crunch.
For a drink, consider pairing the sliders with a chilled iced tea or a cold beer to enhance the flavors even more.
With everything set and ready, your Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders are the star of the show. These sliders are sure to be a hit at your next BBQ, family dinner, or casual gathering. Whether you’re making them for a crowd or just for yourself, these sliders will quickly become a favorite go-to recipe. Enjoy!
FAQ Section
Can I substitute ingredients in Blackstone Goetta Bacon Sliders?
Yes, you can definitely customize the ingredients to suit your taste. For example, if you’re looking to reduce fat content, you can substitute the bacon with turkey bacon or skip it altogether. You can also use ground turkey or chicken instead of pork and beef for the goetta patties. As for the buns, you can opt for whole grain or gluten-free buns if needed. The key is to keep the balance of savory, smoky, and tender textures, so feel free to experiment!
How can I make the sliders spicier or milder?
If you prefer spicier sliders, add a touch of cayenne pepper or use spicy sausage for the goetta patties. For a milder version, you can skip the spices in the goetta mixture or choose a mild cheese like mozzarella instead of sharper varieties like cheddar. The beauty of sliders is that they can be easily adapted to suit your spice tolerance!
How do I store leftover sliders?
Leftover sliders can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sliders in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to warm them up while keeping the buns soft. Alternatively, you can heat them on the Blackstone griddle for a few minutes until warm.
Can I cook these sliders without a Blackstone griddle?
Yes, while the Blackstone griddle provides an excellent cooking surface for these sliders, you can also make them in a skillet or on a regular grill. For skillet cooking, just preheat a large skillet over medium heat, then cook the goetta patties and bacon until crispy and browned on both sides. If you’re grilling, cook the patties on indirect heat to avoid flare-ups, and use a griddle pan for the bacon to ensure crispiness.
