Black Jack Sliders (Mini Burgers)

I came up with this recipe trying to make a version of Dave & Buster's Black Jack Burger, but with a twist. D&B is my son's favorite place to eat and the BJB is what he ALWAYS orders. He and I both loved them and we hope you do too! By the way... I didn't measure as I was making them so the the measurements listed are a guesstimate (my best guess). *** A note... I made these again last night for DS and his friend but we didn't have any pickles. Pickles are a must, without them the burgers are just not the same!

2. Place bacon on a broiler pan and cook for 10 - 12 minutes, until crispy.
3. Meanwhile,Combine ground beef with 4T BBQ sauce, grill seasoning and bread crumbs.
4. Form into small patties and using your thumb, form a deep indent into the center of each patty (this prevents them from shrinking).
5. On an indoor grill, grill patties over medium heat until both sides have grill marks.

7. Transfer sliders to the oven and cook for 4 - 5 minutes.
