Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices of bacon
- ¼ cup truffle butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 mini pancakes (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mustard
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Set aside on a paper towel to drain. - Prep the Patties
In a bowl, mix ground beef with cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Form into 12 mini burger patties, sized to fit the mini pancakes. - Cook the Burgers
In the same skillet, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness. - Grill the Pancakes
Heat a griddle or clean skillet and melt the truffle butter. Toast the mini pancakes until golden brown and infused with that irresistible truffle richness. - Assemble the Sliders
On one mini pancake, layer a burger patty, a piece of crispy bacon, and any optional toppings you like. Top with another pancake and secure with a toothpick. - Serve and Devour
Serve hot and get ready for the sweet-savory flavor bomb. You’ve officially won brunch.
Tips for Success
- Use thick-cut bacon: It adds better texture and stands up to the mini burger.
- Homemade pancakes? Even better. Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla to contrast with the savory meat.
- Go mini but mighty: Don’t overload each slider. A little of each component goes a long way in stacking flavor.
