Sisters Luv 2 Cook: Smokey Mesquite BBQ Beef Sliders.

These are tasty little gems and it is very easy to slide 2 or 3 of these into your mouth! Kraft Canada used to sell a kit with the seasoning and cheese but they stopped making it so I made my own version. The burger is well seasoned and juicy and then it is topped with a yummy bacon/onion BBQ sauce. Cheese is added and and then melted. Serve with a salad.
