Combine ground beef with steak seasoning in a large bowl, using your hands. Divide the meat into 6 equal sized portions. Pat them into patties, a little larger than your slider buns (they will shrink slightly while cooking). Press your thumb into the center of the patty to make an indent.
Heat on hot grill pan for about 4-5 minutes per side (until desired doneness). We like ours medium well done.
To serve, to each burger with a half a slice of pepperjack cheese, a slice of cooked bacon, a little bit of bbq sauce and a dollop of fresh Pineapple Salsa. EAT and enjoy warm!
Notes
Before you start making this meal, consider how long it takes for your grill to heat up and plan your time accordingly. This shouldn’t be a concern If you’re using a grill pan.
Let guests serve themselves, and prep your toppings in advance! Nobody likes a cold slider, and having a well-laid serving station ready to go will ensure yours are still hot for that delicious first bite.
If you’re concerned about the buns getting soggy, try toasting them first. Spread a tiny amount of butter over the open face and then place it face down on the open grill (or pan) for about 30 seconds. Just be careful not to burn them.
Sliders are a fun meal. If you can, try to include guests in the preparation. None of the steps are complicated, and there is a particular satisfaction that comes from having a hand in the meal.
If you’ve got more salsa than you need for the sliders, consider keeping a bag of tortilla chips nearby for easy snacking after the meal or while cooking.
