Smoked Sliders Recipe
Makes about 20-25 sliders, which might seem like a lot, but they disappear in a heartbeat!! The kids love them and they’re quick and easy!! Enjoy!
Ingredients
Patties:
2 Lbs ground meat of your choice. I like to grind up sirloin steak, trimmed of fat
8-10 Slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Sweet onions, thinly sliced
3 Tbsp butter
24 Parker house rolls
Sauce/Spread:
1 Cup mayonnaise
½ Cup mustard
¼ Cup ketchup
2-3 Tbsp pickled jalapenos, minced
Couple of dashes of Tabasco
Preparation
Combine ground meat, bacon, cheese, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well.
Form into 2 ½ inch patties.
Arrange patties on your racks, and place them into your 220°F preheated smoker, for 20 minutes of smoke. Your choice of wood. We like mesquite or hickory.
Remove from smoker and finish cooking on the grill.
I suppose you could finish in the smoker if preferred, but I like the combo of smoke and grill flavour.
If you fully cook them in the smoker the USDA/FSIS recommends a cooking temperature of at least 225°F for ground meat.
While the patties are cooking, in a large skillet melt 3 tablespoons butter, then add sliced onions. Cook stirring often until caramelized; about 15 minutes.
For buns, use any brand Parker house rolls. Allow to rise and bake as instructed on the package.
Add all sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
While the buns are hot out of the oven, split and apply sauce to the bottom half and top if you’d like! Place a patty on the bottom half of the roll, then a spoon on some onions and the top half of the roll.
