We loved these! Even though it looks like a lot of ingredients, it was really simple to put together and I loved the filling in each slider. Biting into your burger meat and getting peppers, bacon and cheese was so good! The addition of guacamole with the fresh tomato and lettuce was great too, it added another layer of flavour. Definitely be making these again!

Great idea! I made my own guacamole, we're not fans of sliced tomatoes on burgers, but a small one (I prefer Roma) diced in a fresh made guac is great. We also like the heat so used pepper Jack/cheddar cheese combo!

I made these for a party. They are very good and have a kick. I doubled the recipe to make 24 and used only 1 large jalapeno; I used reduced fat cream cheese and ground sirloin. I used FF sharp cheddar slices and halved them on the diagonal. Real cheese would have been better. Lots of work!! You're making double the patties (48) and it (4 pounds) came out to about 1 1/3 ounces/per patty. I assembled the burgers the day before. I spooned a little of the cream cheese mixture on each of 24 patties and did not use all the filling. We grilled them for about 1 minute per side on high and it was perfect. I toasted the buns (Ralph's mini buns) under the broiler for a minute, topped with the burger and then cheese. I served them with guacamole, Roma tomato slices and pickle chips.

These were really good! I roasted an anaheim pepper and topped the burgers with it and the other toppings. I used mayo on one bun and some of the leftover filling on the other. They were SOOOO messy and good! Thanks #983617 for a new take on stuffed burgers!
