INGREDIENTS

● 1 cup mayonnaise
● 2 garlic cloves, minced
● 1 tablespoon hot sauce
● 1/2 teaspoon paprika
● 1 pound ground beef
● 1/2 teaspoon salt
● 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
● 12 slider buns
● 2 cups shredded smoked Gouda, divided
● 12 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
● 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
● 12 pickle chips, plus extra for serving
● 2 tablespoons butter, melted
● 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS

1. Whisk together mayonnaise, garlic, hot sauce and paprika in a small bowl. Set aside.

2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Season with
salt and pepper. Drain and discard grease.

3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice slider buns in half horizontally without separating the
rolls. Place bottom halves in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with half the
shredded cheese.

4. Spoon cooked beef over cheese. Sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese, chopped
bacon and sliced onion. Top each slider with one pickle chip and spoon half the spicy
mayonnaise over the pickles. Place top buns over sliders.

5. Tightly cover the baking pan with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the
oven, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

6. Place sliders back into the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with
remaining spicy mayonnaise and pickles.
