These sliders, stuffed with both crispy bacon and melty cheese, and topped with a tasty mayonnaise-based sauce is the perfect party recipe. Once you know how to stuff burgers, the options are endless: try turkey pepperoni and part-skim mozzarella, sautéed onions and bell peppers, or blue cheese and chopped tomatoes. For a spicier take on the recipe, dice up jalapeños and blend with your uncooked ground beef. A flat-top griddle or grill pan is a good choice for cooking your sliders for maximum juiciness. If you are using an outdoor grill, make sure to keep your grill lid closed during cooking to prevent flare-ups and keep the temperature steady.

Instructions

  1. To make sauce, combine mayonnaise, pickle, ketchup, shallot, mustard, pickle juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to serve (may be made up to 2 days ahead).
  2. To make sliders, divide beef into 8 equal-sized portions; gently shape each into a 3-inch patty. Make a small indentation in center of 4 patties; divide bacon and cheese evenly across them and press down lightly with your hands. Cover each with another patty and seal edges with slightly damp fingers; season with salt and pepper (may be made up to 12 hours before grilling - wrap tightly and keep chilled).
  3. When ready to cook, off heat, coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook sliders for 4 minutes per side for medium, or longer to desired degree of doneness.
  4. To serve, divide sauce over roll bottoms; top each with a lettuce leaf, tomato slice, burger and roll top.
