一个美味的汉堡– made mini slider style – with creamy avocado, lean ground beef, balsamic caramelized onions, and salty pancetta! Its the ultimate slider!
I have been on a little bit of asandwichkick lately, I guess my husband is starting to wear off on me. But let me tell you.. its for the better.
Last week I shared with you myGrilled Portobello Burger with Balsamic Reduction, which is ridiculously delicious and a great vegetarian option for Meatless Monday!

Today I’m bringing it back to the meat lover! Woot Woot!!
Have you ever had a CowboyBurgerbefore?

I was thinking about them the other day, mostly because I was thinking of my waitressing days and the “Cowboy Burger” was one of the most ordered items on the menu. I will say, it is super tasty … just not the healthiest of burgers.
Ok, so, for those of you who don’t know, a Cowboy Burger is a ground beef burger with cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, tangy BBQ Sauce, and those yummy fried crispy onion straws. Sounds good… just SUPER heavy!

I decided to lighten this burger up a bit and make it for my man on Fathers Day! {awesome wife alert!}
HE LOVED IT! {and to be honest, I did too}

This lighter version is in mini form… aka “the slider” and fancied up a bit… hence the name “Gourmet Cowboy Hamburger Sliders”.
This burger is made with 93/7 lean ground beef, crispypancetta{instead of bacon}, balsamic caramelized onions {instead of BBQ sauce and crispy fried onion straws}, and mashed avocado {because everything is better with avocado}.

Seriously, if words could describe how good theseGourmet Cowboy Slidersare then I would use them … but they don’t! You honestly just need to try them to find out for yourself. They will be one of the best burgers you have ever eaten.. hands down!
On a side note, not only am I giving you the worlds best slider recipe today but I am also giving out $300 amazon cash, so be sure to enter this awesome giveaway below!
