Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 small slider buns
- 1 cup crispy bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- Lettuce, tomato, and pickles for toppings
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a bowl, combine ground beef, cheddar cheese, diced onions, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Form into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
- Cook the Sliders: Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
- Assemble the Sliders: Cut the slider buns in half. Spread mayonnaise and barbecue sauce on the bottom half, add a patty, and top with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Place the top half of the bun on each slider.
- Presentation Tips: Arrange the sliders on a decorative platter, garnishing with fresh greens or herbs for a pop of color. Consider using toothpicks to hold them together and make them easier to serve.
- Variations: Try adding different toppings such as caramelized onions, avocado slices, or spicy aioli. You can also experiment with various cheeses like pepper jack or blue cheese for an extra kick.
