Grilled Sirloin Sliders with Bacon

Grilled Sirloin Sliders with Bacon recipe on justataste.com

I’m on a bite-sized food kick right now. Between the Homemade Mini Ice Cream Drumsticks and these Grilled Sirloin Sliders with Smoked Bacon, I haven’t had need for utensils in days!

A burger craving prompted me to follow superstar chef Emeril Lagasse’s lead by blending equal parts ground sirloin and ground chuck to make one heck of a beefy, bite-sized patty. Crispy smoked bacon, slices of sharp cheddar, piles of caramelized onions, and best buddies ketchup and mustard transform an array of simple ingredients into sensational sliders. Would you expect anything less from a culinary icon?

I had the lucky chance to hang out with Emeril a few weeks ago while taping an episode for his new show, Emeril’s Table, which airs this fall. More details on that to come, but for now, fire up the flames for summertime sliders and then chill out with my three favorite ways to beat the heat: S’more Shakes, Pineapple Sorbet and Bahama Mama Cocktails.

  1. a.k.a. “the-perfect-bite-burgers”!!! the pickles on top are like the cherry on the cake… You mentioned in a comment above a caramelized bacon jam: sounds heavenly.

  2. The photos are utterly gorgeous! I’ll be making brioche on monday, instead of the normal loaf I bake, I’ll be making buns to make these lovely sliders. I’ll also have to make some bacon jam to top these with; I suspect both will go lovely together.

    1. Homemade brioche would make these even that much better! I did a caramelized bacon jam inspired by ‘wichcraft a few months ago … one word: obsessed.

  3. As if these sliders weren’t all ready perfection, that little pickle puts them over the top!

    1. Thanks, Marla! I love a good crunch from a pickle on my burgers and also added a sour bread and butter pickle atop the patties.

  4. Instant Drool. Oh I wish I hadn’t just eaten dinner! Now i’m hungry all over again! Great looking burgers!

    1. Thanks, Jeff! Speaking of drooling … just checked out your Onion Stuffed Potatoes. They look unbelievable and would be the perfect potato match for these sliders…
