Slide Into Flavor Town: Smash Burger Sliders with Bacon and Avocado
Are you ready to turn your next meal-time gathering into a smashing success?
Imagine biting into a mini burger that packs the punch of a heavyweight champ.
We’re talking about a juicy, perfectly seasoned beef patty paired with the irresistible crispiness of bacon, the creamy, rich texture of avocado, and a zesty twist of a spicy mango sauce.
It’s a winning trio and a burst of flavor in every bite.
A Little Slider History
Originating from the steamy kitchens of fast-paced diners, sliders have a rich and interesting history.
The term “slider” originally referred to small hamburgers that were originally “slid” across a flattop grill and onto a bun.
White Castle, a fast food chain that opened in 1921, helped to popularize these small bundles of meat and bun.
And the the US Navy even embraced the slider; named so because these mini, tasty burgers would easily slide down the hungry throats of hungry sailors.
Embrace The Magic of the Smash Burger Sliders with Bacon and Avocado
Sliders have come a long way, baby, from their White Castle and Navy days.
Weighing in at 2 ounces, each slider patty is like the fun size of a candy bar.
It’s the perfect size when you crave a snack. You can stop at one or have another and make it a meal, suit yourself.
Top 5 Tips for Perfect Smash Burger Sliders
1. The Beef. I recommend using 80/20 ground beef; that’s 80% lean and 20% fat. Fat means flavor and all that wonderful fat will ensure that each bite is bursting with juicy, meaty flavor.
2. The Bun. Toast those buns! Toasting enhances flavor and keeps the bun from getting too soggy.
3. The Flair. Forget boring mayo or mustard. Make a standout sauce like my Spicy Mango Sauce. So not traditional, but it’s everything you’ve been dreaming of, yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, Cajun seasoning, and cilantro.
4. The Smash. Press down on those patties to create a crust and the browning that we crave in a good smash burger.
5. The Juicy Factor. Don’t overcook these little hamburger gems. A slider cooks up perfectly in 2-3 minutes.
You can enjoy this diner-style smash burger sliders easily at home on a weeknight.
No grill or griddle is necessary. Use a cast iron pan and you are good to go.
Customize your burger to suit your tastes and your dinner will be a smashing success.
