About

These sliders turn a favourite American comfort-food combination, bacon, Cheddar and ranch, into twelve small burgers on a slab of Hawaiian rolls.

Instead of shaping twelve patties, the ranch-seasoned beef is formed into two large rectangles about seven by five inches, each the size of half the roll slab, and grilled over medium-high heat for about four minutes a side. Four slices of Cheddar melt over each under a closed lid. The rolls are split horizontally in one piece and toasted cut side down on the grill for only about ten seconds. Ranch dressing stirred with hot sauce is spread on the bottom half, then come the two patties, chopped crisp bacon, diced red onion and dill pickle slices, and a final drizzle of the spicy ranch before the tops go on. Cut them into twelve and serve them hot.
