Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf Sliders

 I saw a post about meatloaf sliders so I decided to give my own a shot. 

Meatloaf:

1.5 lbs ground beef

1/3 cup chopped sweet onions

1/3 cup chopped dill pickles

2 eggs

1 tsp garlic powder

seasoned salt and pepper to taste 

2/3 cup bread crumbs 

5-6 slices thick bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

1 recipe SuperPickle's Secret Sauce(divided use)

1 package of 12 pull apart Sweet Hawaiian Rolls

8-10 onion rings cooked crisp(Homemade or Frozen, I actually really like the Great Value brand!)

1 roma tomato, chopped

shredded cheddar to taste

Topping:

1/4 cup butter

2 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp seasoned salt

Combine all meatloaf ingredients, adding about 1/4 cup of the SuperPickle's Secret Sauce and gently mix until combined, don't overmix.

On a large baking sheet pat the meatloaf  into a rectangle(a little bigger than the size of the un cut hawaiian rolls.

Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes until it hits 165 degrees.

Remove from oven, drain grease and allow to cool.  Cut to shape if needed (mine was a bit too big, but my middle son certainly chomped down the excess LOL)

While it is cooling get your onion rings cooked up, I did them in my airfryer.

Slice the Hawaiian rolls lengthwise without separating them. Place in a 13x 9 baking dish.

Broil the bottom slices until just browned, then spread with 1/2 the remaining Secret sauce.

Place the sheet of meatloaf on top. Cover with cheese, chopped tomatoes and more bacon if you like!

Place the cooked onion rings on top  and drizzle with remaining Secret sauce.

Mix topping ingredients.

Place the top of the rolls on top and brush with the topping.

Bake at 350 until warmed through and the buns are toasty.

Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve!
