Pork Sliders

Ingredients:

1 ½ lbs. ground pork

½ lb. fresh Mexican chorizo sausage, casings removed

¼ c. grated pepper jack cheese

Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste

8-16 slices bacon, cooked crisp

16 dinner rolls or pretzel rolls, sliced in half

Leaf lettuce

3 sliced Roma tomatoes

Flavored mayonnaise

Directions:

Preheat flat grill pan to medium-high heat or use an indoor griddle. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the ground pork, chorizo, cheese, shallot, garlic and salt and pepper. Form the mixture into small equal-sized slider patties. Cook the burgers for 4 minutes on each side. Serve on a split rolls and top with bacon, lettuce, tomato and flavored mayonnaise.

Note: You can purchase flavored mayonnaise but if you want to make your own simply combine ¼ c. mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika and 1 tsp. hot sauce and mix well. Do this the day before so the flavors can meld.
