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
  • 1012 slider buns or small rolls
  • lettuce or spinach
  • sliced tomatoes
  • sliced cheddar cheese
  • sliced white onions

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. ALI’S TIP:
  5. 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!
