In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form into 8 small patties, each about the size of a slider bun.
Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped pickled jalapeños, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Spread the cut sides of the slider buns with butter. Toast the buns in a clean skillet or on the grill until golden brown.
Assemble the sliders: Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom half of each bun. Place a cooked beef patty on top, followed by a sprinkling of chopped bacon, a piece of lettuce, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
