Ingredients of
Beef Or Venison Sliders

  • 6 slices Bacon, minced 
  • 1 small Onion or 2 shallots finely chopped 
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced (2 tsps) 
  • 2 lbs Regular Ground Beef or beef/pork mix 
  • 1 T Worcestershire Sauce 
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped 
  • 1 Egg, beaten to mix 
  • Salt/Pepper to taste 


How to Make
Beef Or Venison Sliders

  1. In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels. Discard all but 2 or 3 Tbsps bacon fat. Cook onion in bacon fat until translucent or caramelized, then add garlic and cook 30 seconds longer. Remove mixture from pan and let cool. Crumble bacon, if you didn’t cut it before cooking, when cool enough to handle. 
  2. In a large bowl combine ingredients and mix well. Form into approximately 12 to 16 small patties. Use an ice cream scoop to get equal size patties. Refrigerate for 20 minutes if cooking them. If freezing put patties between parchment paper and cover with plastic wrap or put in a freezer bag to store in freezer. 
  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Cook burgers for about 6-8 minutes for medium rare to well, turning once halfway through. Serve sliders on brioche dinner rolls with all the fixings. 


Notes

For venison sliders be sure to retain all the excess grease from the bacon to add to the venison meat when cooled. Venison is extremely lean and needs all that extra fat so it doesn’t come out dry.
