Ingredients

3/4 pound ground chuck
3/4 pound ground sirloin
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup minced onion
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 plus 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
12 dinner roll-sized small brioche buns, split in 1/2 crosswise
2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing buns
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp, drained, and broken into 2-inch pieces

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine the chuck, sirloin, garlic, onion, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper and mix gently but thoroughly to combine. Using a 2-ounce ice cream scoop, divide the mixture into 12 scant 2-ounce balls of meat. Using your hands, shape to form small patties about 3 inches wide and 3/8-inch thick. Place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to sit, refrigerated, at least 1 hour and up to overnight for flavors to mingle.

In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream and horseradish and season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place in a nonreactive bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 3 days in advance.

When you are ready to cook the burgers, preheat a grill to high and lightly butter the cut sides of the buns with the melted butter. Wrap the buns in aluminum foil and place on the coolest part of the grill to warm while you grill the burgers.

Grill the burgers about 2 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to the warmed buns and garnish with pieces of the crispy bacon. Spoon a dollop of the horseradish mayonnaise on top of the bacon, then place the top portion of the bun over all. Serve the sliders hot.

A memorial day hit
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for a bbq we had at our house on memorial day, along with the turkey sliders, and had 10 different toppings for... people to choose. It was a huge hit - the flavor turned out great. Although I am not a red meat eater, the carnivores were pleased!Read more

The best I've ever made!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I LOVE sliders because of their portions and the bold flavor packed in tiny package. This recipe was no exception and was... well-recieved at a Super Bowl get-together. I modify it a bit by adding a little worcestershire sauce, McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning, and a little more garlic than was called for. All were wonderful additions. I also marinated, grilled, and sliced portobello mushrooms to add instead of bacon for a less-fatty choice. To the horseradish mayo, I added a little garlic powder, a splash of the worchestershire sauce, and an even smaller splash of Tabasco. After these additions, there is nothing I would change to the recipe, and I plan to make these again and again.Read more

The writer did not mention that Emerils secret is to add olive oil to the meat when mixing in the seasonings. Awesome... Burger!!!!Read more
