The ultimate Spicy Peanut Butter Bacon Sliders for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespooons sriracha
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, divided
• 1 pinch pepper
• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 12 whole slider buns
• 12 slices pepper jack or cheddar cheese
• 12 slices cooked bacon
• 2 whole jalapenos, sliced
• 2 cups crispy French fries
• 1 whole purple onion, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

Mix together the ground beef, soy sauce, sriracha, 2 tablespoons of the peanut butter (you can leave the peanut butter out of the patties if desired) and a pinch of pepper. Divide the beef in 12 balls and flatten each ball into a patty the size of the slider buns.

Butter both halves of each bun.

When the grill is medium high, place the patties on the grill and cook for 4 minutes. Flip the patties over with a spatula and cook until your desired doneness is reached. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheese on the top of each patty and close the grill lid. Remove the sliders to a plate and cover with foil.

Grab the buttered slider buns and place cut side down on the grill for 1-2 minutes to toast them.

Divide the remaining peanut butter among the 12 bottom buns, top each with a burger patty, slice of bacon, jalapenos, crispy fries and red onion. Drizzle with more sriracha, if desired. Cover with the top of the bun and serve immediately!
