Small cheeseburger sliders stacked with crispy bacon, barbecue sauce and pickles

Make the patties a little wider than the buns because they shrink as they cook.

How to make them

Shape the patties. Divide the beef into 12 equal balls and flatten them into small patties slightly wider than the buns. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cook the burgers. Put them in a hot pan or on the grill for 2–3 minutes per side.
Add the cheese. During the last minute, top each patty with half a cheese slice and let it melt.
Toast the buns. Put them cut-side down in the pan for 1 minute.
Build the sliders. Stack a bottom bun, patty, bacon, a spoonful of BBQ sauce, pickles and the top bun.
