If there is one thing I love as much as I love pizza... and burritos... and tacos...and pasta...and every other food known to man, haha, is a good burger!! And once again, the memories of my family, friends, and good people are there when I eat hamburgers...It sticks out in my mind how as a child, my brother would always order a hamburger with only ketchup when we went to McDonald's. I also remember that I could not even bare to swallow a bite of a McDonald's burger! We would get home and my mom would make me open my mouth and spit out the hamburger meat that I had been storing in my cheeks because I was unable to swallow it. Now, I am in looove with burgers and this love started with my mom cooking hamburgers on the grill at home...a burger at Big Dogs, date night at Jake's, New Year's Eve 2012- sooo many burger memories... mmmmm!
Lately, I have been trying all different types of burgers with a variety of toppings...my most recent favorite: the guacamole burger at Chili's. This year for new year's eve, we experimented with stuffed burgers, but that will be a separate post on my blog later, because they were absolutely ridiculous!
Anyways, we decided to do the slider bar on a Sunday night, because we often grill and eat burgers, but wanted to change up the ol' routine a bit...
Sliders
Ground meat
Italian bread crumbs
Lawry's seasoning
Ground black pepper
Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic
Worcestershire Sauce
Combine ingredients from list with ground meat in large bowl and make "slider size" burgers. GRILL. Again, I apologize, but we don't usually measure... just thought I would list the ingredients that we used and you could just experiment to your liking!
Sweet Bacon and Onion Topping
Chopped Onion
Cooked bacon
Brown Sugar
Chop onion. Cook bacon and chop into small pieces. Combine in pan and add brown sugar. Caramelize, mixing often until onion is clear and browned.
Burger Bar
Suggested toppings:
Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo
BBQ Sauce
Lettuce, Tomato, Onion
Jalapenos, Pickles
American, Swiss, Provolone Cheese
Sweet Bacon and Onion Topping
We used Ciabatta Rolls for buns because they were the perfect size and delicious! I basically laid out all the topping choices and each person chose the kind of cheese they wanted, then decided how they wanted their sliders topped... the kids LOVED it and the combinations are endless- instead of having one big burger topped one way, you can have a few different burgers that are each unique! It was nice to change things up a bit!
I could definitely see this as a party idea...
GET GRILLIN' ! <3 LML
