Ingredients for Whimpy Burgers

Method

Instructions for Making Whimpy Burgers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onion Jam

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    Add the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar to the onions. Cook until the mixture is thick and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Blue Cheese Aioli

    In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and crumbled blue cheese until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Form the Sliders

    Divide the ground beef into 12 equal portions and form into slider patties. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Cook the Sliders

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the slider patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Burgers

    On each slider roll, place a patty, add a slice of bacon, top with onion jam, and drizzle with blue cheese aioli. Serve immediately.
