Grandma gave me this recipe. In the Catskill Mountains, she made this in her motel. A beloved family favorite, it. It is served alongside mashed potatoes.

Yield: | 10 meatball sliders |
Ingredients
- 7 slices bacon
- 8 ounces 93% lean ground beef
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ¾ cup barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray’s®), divided
- 1 tablespoon steak sauce
- 10 slices pepper Jack cheese
- 10 slider buns
- 10 slices cooked bacon
- ¼ cup slivered onion
- ¼ cup roasted red pepper, cut into strips
Instructions
- Attach the meat grinder attachment to an electric stand mixer (such as KitchenAid®). Run enough bacon through the meat grinder to make 8 ounces ground bacon.
- Combine ground bacon, beef, bread crumbs, 1/4 cup barbeque sauce, and steak sauce in a bowl. Mix until well combined and shape into 2-inch round balls. Set meatballs on a baking sheet.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake meatballs until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 25 minutes.
- Place a slice of cheese on top each meatball. Toast slider buns if desired. Place a meatball between each slider bun. Top with cooked bacon slices, onion, remaining barbeque sauce, and roasted red bell peppers.
