Ingredients:

  • 4 bacon strips
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. marjoram
  • 8 mini hamburger buns or small Hawaiian-style sweet rolls, split, toasted (if desired)*
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 2 oz. Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted and peeled
  • 2 oz. smoked Gouda cheese, sliced to fit buns

Instructions:

  1. Cut bacon strips in half crosswise and cook until crisp. Place cooked bacon on paper towels
  2. reserve.
  3. Gently mix ground beef with soy sauce, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and marjoram. Being careful not to compact the meat, gently form into thin burger patties that are slightly wider than the buns. Grill or pan fry patties over medium-high heat, about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, slice each avocado half crosswise to make 2 small slices per slider and reserve.
  5. Assemble the sliders: top the bottom half of each mini bun with the arugula and shredded cheddar cheese. Place burger patties on top of the shredded cheese. Top each with bacon, Gouda cheese, 2 slices of avocado and the top bun.

Notes & Tips:

Serve with favorite burger toppings such as grilled onions, mustard, ketchup or barbecue sauce. Also delicious with other cheese combinations.

*Hot dog buns cut in half or other mini-size rolls may be substituted.
