Description
These Pork & Bacon Sliders are quick and easy to make, and so delicious!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. ground pork
- salt and freshly-ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and cut in half
- 10–12 slider buns or small rolls
- lettuce or spinach
- sliced tomatoes
- sliced cheddar cheese
- sliced white onions
Instructions
- Season the ground pork with a few generous pinches of salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Score the mixture into 8 equal portions, and then use your hands to shape each portion into a patty.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sliders in a single layer (you may need to do 2 or 3 batches) for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until done to your taste. Once the sliders are done cooking, add the buns to the skillet (flat-side down) for a few seconds each until the insides are slightly brown and crispy.
- Lay out the bottom halves of the buns on your work surface. Then add to each a layer of lettuce/spinach, onions, cheese, tomatoes, bacon, the pork patties, and then top with the final layer of the bun. Secure with a toothpick and serve immediately.
- ALI’S TIP:
- Jim’s original recipe called for making each of the “bun” layers a grilled cheese sandwich. So if you’re feeling brave, feel free to make the top and bottom layers each their own mini grilled cheese sandwich!
