If you’re a fan of blue cheese, you’ll really enjoy these keto bleu cheese mini sliders. Every mouthful of these tasty little beef sliders is so delicious you won’t even miss the bun. Finely minced garlic and onion imparts juiciness and flavor to otherwise basic ground beef, while bacon, mushrooms, and sautéed mushrooms make every bite something to savor. You can even take lettuce leaves and turn these keto sliders into lettuce wrap burgers.
If you aren’t closely watching your carb count or avoiding added sugar in your recipes, you can add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture before cooking for even more flavor.

Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons white onion, finely minced
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 oz. white mushrooms, sliced

Optional Side Dish:

Equipment
- Cutting board and knife
- Large bowl
- Large skillet, oven safe
Instructions
- Preheat oven broiler to high and set top oven rack to the second highest setting.

- Divide beef mixture into 8 portions and shape each into a small burger patty. Set patties on a plate and gently press each with your thumb in the center to keep them from puffing up while cooking. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, oven-safe skillet. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are nicely browned, approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer mushrooms to a small bowl and set aside.

- Remove from heat and top each of the slider patties with sautéed mushrooms and crumbled blue cheese. Place skillet in oven under broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until blue cheese starts to melt.
- Remove skillet from oven and top each slider with a piece of bacon and serve immediately on a bed of lettuce and with a side of steamed broccoli, if desired. Enjoy!
