Ingredients
- • 1 tsp olive oil
- • 4 slices bacon, finely chopped
- • ½ cup finely chopped shallots
- • 2 cups finely chopped button mushrooms
- • 1 tsp salt
- • 1 tsp ground black pepper
- • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- • 1 egg, lightly beaten
- • 1 lb 10% fat ground beef
- • 4 oz Gorgonzola (or blue cheese), divided into 16 portions
- • 32 California walnut halves
- • 16 small dinner rolls (or 2, 24-inch baguettes, sliced into 8 equal portions, then sliced horizontally)
Instructions
- Set EGG for direct cooking at 400°F/204°C.
- Heat oil in a Stir-Fry and Paella Pan (or on the stovetop in a large sauce pan) and sauté bacon until just cooked but not crisp. Add shallots and cook until translucent. Add mushrooms and continue cooking for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and let cool. Add salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and egg to mixture. Add beef and gently mix by hand until all ingredients are incorporated, without over mixing.
- Divide mixture into 16 equal portions. Using the Mini Burger Basket, form into thick patties, about 1-½ inches thick and 2-½ inches in diameter, tucking a piece of cheese and 2 walnut halves into the center of each patty.
- Grill patties on EGG until cooked to preferred doneness. Serve in small dinner rolls or between baguette slices with desired condiments.
- Makes 16 sliders
