Lunch: Bacon and Cheddar Sliders Recipe | MyRecipes

Recipe by Julianna Grimes Classic burger toppings are all here on these Bacon and Cheddar Sliders. Toasting buns on the grill gives these little burgers a delightful crunch.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
12 ounces ground sirloin
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
Cooking spray
2 ounces 2% reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
8 whole-wheat slider buns
3 tablespoons canola mayonnaise
4 cornichon or other small dill pickles, each cut lengthwise into 4 slices
4 small lettuce leaves, each torn in half
1 small ripe tomato, cut into 8 slices
3 slices cooked bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Gently combine first 3 ingredients and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl, being careful not to overmix. Divide beef mixture into 8 equal portions; gently shape each portion into a 1/4-inch-thick patty, taking care not to pack mixture down.
Arrange patties on grill rack coated with cooking spray; cook 2 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Top each patty with about 1 tablespoon cheese during last minute of cooking. Lightly coat cut sides of buns with cooking spray. Place buns, cut sides down, on grill rack. Grill for 1 minute or until toasted. Spread about 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on bottom half of each bun; top with 1 patty. Top each slider with 2 pickle slices, 1/2 lettuce leaf, and 1 tomato slice; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Arrange bacon pieces evenly over tomato. Top with bun tops.
