Here’s the traditional indulgent American cheeseburger, slider-sized and topped with smoky bacon.
Why try? It’s indulgent, sure, but it’s just a mini slider with about 2 ounces of meat! Of course, you’re going to want to eat more than one, but who’s counting?
Foodie Byte: Almost any type of cheese works. Try it with Swiss, pepperjack, or American. Topped with bacon, you can’t go wrong.
