Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- ½ cup extra sharp shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
- ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Dash liquid smoke
- Pinch salt
- 8 King’s Hawaiian Rolls (sliced)
- 2 slices extra sharp cheddar cheese (cut into quarters)
- 4 slices cooked bacon (cut in half)
- 8 tablespoons barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the slider patties. Mix ground beef, shredded cheese, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, liquid smoke, and salt in a bowl. Shape into 8 patties.
- Preheat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the bottom halves of the Hawaiian rolls on a serving platter.
- Grill sliders for 3-4 minutes per side, adding cheese after flipping. Cook until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Transfer patties to rolls, top with bacon and barbecue sauce, then cover with roll tops. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bacon for extra crispiness.
- Adjust cooking time based on patty thickness.
- Hawaiian rolls add sweetness, but brioche works too.
