Instructions
In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, 6 slices of chopped bacon, bleu cheese, garlic, cilantro, Worcestershire, and salt & pepper, mixing with gloved hands to distribute ingredients evenly.
Form 2.5-3.5 ounce balls of meat, pressing them down in your palm to form small patties. You should end up with 6-8 patties, depending on how thick you made them.
Grill patties to desired doneness; I usually cook mine to medium, but go as little or as long as you'd like. In the last 2 minutes or so of grilling, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese.
Set patties on lightly grilled slider buns, then top with more bacon, lettuce, and tomato slices.
In a small bowl, mix ketchup and mayonnaise. Spread a spoonful on the bottom of each top bun, and set them on top of the sliders.
Serve with a mini bottle of your favorite Gallo wine, and enjoy!
