All-American BBQ Sliders Recipe #380248
I came across this recipe while I was checking my email. A friend of mine back home finds recipes that she likes, but her hubby doesn't like to experiment with new recipes. So she sends them to me & I test them out for her. (My DH has been my taste tester for 10 years & loving every minute of it!!) So I tried this the other day & it was awesome. My DH ate 5 in one sitting & my two boys ate 4 each.

SERVES 8 , 8 sliders
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 lb ground chuck
- 3/4 lb ground sirloin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 large red onion, cut into 1/2 inch-thick slices
- 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 small dinner rolls, halved horizontally
- 8 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, cut into 8 slices
- 16 slices bacon, cooked to a crisp, slices halved
- In a small saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard & Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Pour sauce into a large bowl and set aside.
- Crumble the chuck & sirloin into a bowl, sprinkle with salt & pepper, and toss lightly to combine. Shape into 8 (3 inch) burgers, about 1/2 inch-thick.
- Preheat grill to medium-hot and oil grill rack. Grill onions for 5 minutes on each side, or until softened and browned. Transfer onions to bowl with sauce; toss to combine.
- Grill burgers, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. (I took the sauce that was made & dressed each side as well) Top with cheese during the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking time, with grill covered, to melt cheese. Remove burgers from grill. Grill buns cut sides down until toasted.
- To assemble burgers, top bottom halves of buns with lettuce, tomato slices, and burgers. Spoon on onions, and top each burger with 2 pieces of bacon and bun tops.
