Grilled Sliders with Bacon and Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground chuck
• 8 slider buns or dinner rolls
• 4 strips of bacon, cooked and cut in half
• 8 squares of fresh cut sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tbl. mayo
• 1 tbl. coarse ground dijon mustard
• Salt, pepper, garlic powder for seasoning to taste
• Lettuce, tomato or onion if desired on top

Steps

1. Heat a grill pan to high heat, or heat a grill to medium-high heat.
2. Divide one pound of ground chuck into 6-8 even sections. Form each section of meat into a round slider.
3. Season each slider with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
4. Place burgers on your pre-heated grill or grill pan and cook for about 4 minutes per side for medium, or until the burgers are cooked to your preferred doneness.
5. Remove burgers from the grill. Top each with a slice of cheddar cheese, then cover the burgers so the cheese can melt.
6. Toast the buns.
7. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of mayo with 1 tablespoon coarse ground dijon. Spread some of the mayo/mustard mixture on each bun, then add your slider, and top with a half strip of bacon.
8. Top as you wish.
