Lettuce-Wrapped Sliders with Bacon, Avocado, Caramelized Onion, and BBQ Sauce
6 servings
Sliders so flavorful - you never miss the bun.
Ingredients
- 1 large Spanish onion
- Olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef
- Bacon cooked until crispy
- 1 head of butter lettuce rinsed
- 2 avocados sliced into thin strips
- BBQ Sauce
- Feta or Blue Cheese for sprinkling optional
Instructions
- I caramelize the onion using this tutorial . This part takes the longest, but you can do it ahead of time and keep the caramelized onions in the fridge until serving.
- Divide the beef into 2-inch size patties of equal thickness. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
- Heat the grill to medium-high. Oil the grate and cook the sliders for about 4 minutes. Turn and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes. Alternatively you can cook the sliders in a hot cast iron skillet with a touch of oil for the same amount of time per side.
- To assemble the sliders, lay a piece of butter lettuce down. Place the patty on the lettuce then top with the BBQ sauce, caramelized onion, bacon, and avocado. Sprinkle with a bit of cheese if desired. Serve and enjoy!
