Small City Sliders

2 lbs. ground beef
1 egg
1 tbsp each salt & pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dried parsley (or fresh, if you prefer)
1 small onion, minced (if desired)
About 7 or 8 slices of bacon, cooked
Sliced cheese
Dinner rolls

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Take about a handful of the ground beef mixture and shape it into a ball. Pat it flat to about 1/4 inch thickness. Repeat until the meat is all used up.
Cook the sliders on a stovetop griddle, or on the grill until no longer pink in the middle.
Serve immediately topped with a slice of cheese and two pieces of bacon. Add other toppings as desired (onions, lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup, etc.)
Makes about 12 sliders.

*I love making sliders because not only do they have a cool name, but they cook fast and are very easy to make. Making your own burgers is so much better than anything you can buy at the store. Evan eats about 6 or 7 of these mini burgers, and even helped me come up with the name for them! I like to put muenster cheese on them because it melts very easily. But they are so versatile, you can put pretty much anything you want on them! Try them out for yourself...you will never buy burgers again.
