Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 1/2 cup onion white, diced
  • 1 tablespoon butter for sauteing onions
  • 1/4 pound Bacon
  • 2 lices American cheese
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 teaspoon jalapeno pepper pickled, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter for sliders
  • 8 Brioche buns or other slider buns

Instructions

Crispy Bacon
    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook bacon in a large skillet and drain bacon on a wire rack.   Wipe out the skillet, you may want to save the bacon grease for cooking. When the bacon has cooled, break the bacon into 2 to 3 inch pieces.
Jalapeno Ranch Sauce
  1. Place the ranch dressing, and pickled jalapenos into a blender.
  2.   Puree until the dressing is smooth. This will taste better the longer it sits.
Sauteed Onions
  1. Add butter to a large skillet.  When the butter has melted, add diced onion.  Cook the onion until the onion until has become translucent. Remove the onions and set aside.
Hamburger Slider Directions
  1. Prepare the burgers by placing ground chuck into a bowl.  Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, mix well.
  2. Divide the seasoned ground beef into 8 portions.  Place as many of the burger patties into the skillet without over crowding them.
  3. Cook the ground beef patties on each side for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the patty has browned. When the burger has browned add a ¼ of a slice of American cheese to each patty.
  4. Build the burger by placing cooked chopped onions and bacon on the bottom bun.  Top with the burger patty, and drizzle some of the spicy ranch sauce on top of the meat.  Add the top bun.

Notes

  • Keep ground meat cold until shaping to preserve fat distribution and texture.
  • Handle the meat gently when mixing and forming patties to keep them tender.
  • Make patties just slightly larger than buns as they shrink while cooking.
  • Press a thumb dimple in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
  • Start cooking on a hot skillet to achieve a good sear with a sizzle sound.
  • Avoid pressing down burgers while cooking to retain flavorful juices.
  • Flip patties only once to develop a better crust.
  • Add cheese while patties are still in the pan and cover briefly for even melting.
  • Let burgers rest 2–3 minutes after cooking before assembling sliders.
