Big Fat Bacon Sliders

Servings: 8

Ingredients

2 pounds Ground Beef
1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Lemon Pepper Or Other Seasoning
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
8 strips Thin/regular Bacon
¼ cups Barbecue Sauce
8 slices (shavings) Cheese: Cheddar, Jack, Etc.
8 whole Dinner Rolls (or Slider Rolls)

Combine first five ingredients. Mix with hands to combine. Form into medium sized balls.

Cut slices of bacon in half lengthwise. Wrap one half around ball of hamburger, pulling slightly to keep taut. Repeat with other half of bacon, ending seam in the same place.

Place patties, bacon seam side down, on a cookie sheet. Press gently on each patty to flatten as much as you can without squeezing meat out of the edges. Place cookie sheet in freezer. Once frozen, patties may be transferred to a freezer bag.

To Serve:
Thaw completely.  Brush each patty with barbecue sauce. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 400º, or until bacon is cooked to your specifications. Sliders may also be grilled.  Remove from oven/grill and lay a cheese shaving on each patty. Serve on a roll with your choice of toppings/condiments.
