Ingredients
  

  • 12 slider buns* sliced
  • Ground beef I used 80/20 ground chuck
  • dash or two Dale’s Steak Sauce or any steak sauce, or Worcestershire Sauce
  • Monterey Steak Seasoning steak seasoning, or salt, pepper, garlic powder
  • 12 thick slices Cheddar Cheese
  • 6-8 slices bacon

Burger Sauce

  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp. mustard I used honey dijon
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Cook bacon until crisp. Remove to paper towels and drain. Pour off all but 1 T bacon grease.
  • Sear the meat by cooking in one whole block, on high, 1-2 minutes until brown and flip over and sear the other side.
  • Lower heat to medium, and cook and stir until crumbled and all meat is cooked through.
  • Lower heat to medium low and add 1/2 of the cheese, broken into small pieces, cooking and stirring until it’s melted in. Season with a dash of Dale’s and Montreal Steak Seasoning.
  • Place roll bottoms in a greased 9 x 13 pan. Break bacon strips into 2-3 pieces. Top bun bottoms evenly with meat and a couple pieces of bacon. Place cheese overall and place bun tops over cheese.
  • Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate until baking later if desired.
  • Bake at 350, loosely covered, for 25 minutes or until hot and melty

Burger Sauce

  • Combine glaze ingredients in a small sauce pan and cook over medium until melted and combined. Brush liberally over bun tops.

Notes

*you can use Hawaiian Buns, but I recommend a sturdier bun. I used large dinner style rolls from the bakery
