Low Carb Bacon Jam Cheeseburger Sliders
Low carb bacon jam cheeseburger sliders take everything good about a backyard cheeseburger and stack it on a soft Hawaiian roll brushed with garlic aioli. The bacon jam is the real star here — bacon, caramelized onion, and jalapeno simmered down with sugar-free maple syrup and a brown sugar substitute until it turns thick and sticky, almost like a candied relish. Grass-fed beef and melty white American cheese round it out, and a quick bake under foil melds everything together into one warm, shareable bite.

Ingredients
Method
Bacon Jam
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. While it cooks, line a plate with a paper towel.
- Transfer the bacon to the lined plate and set aside.
- Leave about 1/4 cup of bacon grease in the pan, carefully removing the rest.
- Add the onion and jalapeno to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until the onions are caramelized, 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, brown sugar substitute, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, chili powder, and cooked bacon.
- Simmer for 7-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency. Serve warm, or rewarm slightly if refrigerated.
Sliders
- Season the ground beef with the smashburger seasoning and press evenly into a 1/8 sheet pan.
- Broil in the oven for 8-10 minutes (or cook on the grill, if possible, for even better flavor).
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Spread 1 tablespoon of Graza garlic aioli on each cut half, then grill in a pan until golden brown.
- Place the cooked burger on the bottom half of the slider buns.
- Top with the cheese, then the bacon jam.
- Add the top half of the buns, brush with butter, and sprinkle with Dan-O’s seasoning.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 5-10 minutes, until everything is warm and melded together.

Notes
- Freeze the bacon for about 20 minutes before dicing — it’s much easier to cut when partially frozen.
