Beef And Bacon Sliders

• 2 large Granny Smith, unpeeled
• 1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
• 1/4 cup small fresh mint leaves
• 1 None green onion, thinly sliced on the diagonal
• 1/3 cup coleslaw dressing
• None None FOR THE SLIDERS
• 5 tbsp olive oil
• 5 slices bacon, cut into matchsticks
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 1/3 lbs ground beef
• 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 12 None slider rolls or dinner rolls, split
• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

1. For the green apple coleslaw, cut the apple into matchsticks. Place in a large bowl with the cabbage, mint leaves, onion and dressing and season to taste. Toss gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. For the sliders, heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet on high heat. Cook the bacon and onion, stirring occasionally, for 6 mins or until the bacon is browned and the onion is soft. Drain on a paper towel, then cool completely.
3. Combine the ground beef, bacon mixture and parsley in a large bowl. Season. Divide into 12 equal portions and shape into 4-inch patties (or slightly larger than the bread rolls). Refrigerate for 30 mins or until firm.
4. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add half the patties and cook for 3 mins each side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining oil and patties.
5. Preheat the broiler to high. Place the roll bottoms, cut-side up, on baking pan. Top with the patties and sprinkle with cheese. Broil for 2 mins or until the cheese melts.
6. Top the patties with coleslaw and sandwich with the roll tops. Use a toothpick to secure the sliders for serving. Place on a large platter and serve immediately.
