Beef Sliders with Skillet Bacon Spread

Skillet Kitchen Bacon Spread

This is where it all began — the classic use of bacon spread. This is how we make The Burger on our Airstream trailer and at the Skillet Diner. Enjoy!

Makes 12 sliders

 


Ingredients

24 (.56 kilo) oz. ground beef, grass fed
7 oz. (226 g) oz Skillet Bacon Spread
4 (113 g) oz cambozola, sliced
2 (.5 liter) cups arugula, loosely packed
12 slider buns
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
2 (.30 ml) Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

First, form the burger into 12 patties.

Then, set your pan on medium high heat and put the olive oil in the pan until it is hot.

Put the patties in the pan and cook to medium, approx 3 minutes each side. Make sure to season with salt and pepper.

After flipping the first time, place the cambozola on the burger and let it melt slightly.

Toast the bun in the same pan.

To assemble, place bacon spread on each bun. Put arugula on the bottom bun. Place the burger on the arugula and put the top bun on top. Enjoy!
