02 - 8 slices bacon
→ Dairy
03 - 8 slices cheddar or American cheese
→ Bakery
04 - 8 slider buns
→ Vegetables & Condiments
05 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
06 - 1 cup lettuce leaves
07 - 1 medium tomato, sliced
08 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
09 - 2 tablespoons ketchup
10 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
11 - Pickles, optional
→ Spices & Seasonings
12 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
13 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
# How-to Steps:
01 - Heat the grill to medium-high, roughly 400°F; oil the grate lightly to prevent sticking.
02 - Divide the beef into eight equal portions and shape into compact 2-inch patties; season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
03 - Place bacon slices on the cooler side of the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 5–7 minutes; transfer to paper towels to drain.
04 - Grill patties over direct heat 3–4 minutes per side for medium, or to desired doneness; during the final minute place a slice of cheese on each patty and close the lid to melt.
05 - Toast slider buns cut-side down on the grill 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
06 - Spread mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard on the bottom buns, layer lettuce, a cheese-topped patty, bacon, tomato and sliced red onion; add pickles if desired and cap with the top buns.
07 - Serve immediately while hot alongside preferred sides such as fries or coleslaw.
