If you enjoy guacamole on your hamburgers these California sliders are perfect for you. These sliders consist of well-seasoned burger patties, pepper jack cheese, and guacamole. The hamburger patties can be pan-fried or grilled. You can also add bacon if you want. You can also use your own guacamole if you want, or get it from the store. The serving size will vary but I would say each person could eat about 2 sliders each. This goes great for dinner but could also be served as an appetizer, and this is another great recipe to serve for game day. Enjoy.

Where do you buy those slider buns? I don’t see those at our local grocery stores.
Chelsea- you should be able to find sliders buns at the local grocery store or a super walmart should have them. You can get dollar rolls or even dinner rolls.
Why is there a hole in the middle of each hamburger patty?
So the hamburger patty doesn’t puff up into a ball.
