For the weekend’s Game Day and Tet (Lunar New Year) Celebrations, I combined two of my favorite party foods.. burger sliders and Bánh Mì sandwiches and made juicy Bánh Mì Sliders. Although my team lost the big game, I enjoyed all the quality time and yummy food with the family.
These flavor-packed sweet and savory has the grilled pork flavors and sandwiched between delicious King’s Hawaiian slider buns. Cooking it on a flat top grill gave it uniform crust and color, sealing in all the flavors, and it tasted great!

Steps:
Make Slider Patties – In a medium/large bowl, combine all the slider patty ingredients. Form 2 to 2.5 ounce patties, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Grill Slider Patties – Grill slider patties on a flat top grill over medium to medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes a side until the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
Assemble Bánh Mì Sliders – Toast slider buns. Assemble the Bánh Mì Sliders with Bánh Mì toppings and enjoy.
Tips:
- I used pork and beef for this recipe. I think the beef gives it more texture, but use whatever combination you like.
- You can grill or pan fry the patties however you like
- The honey and sugars will caramelize and burn quickly if you cook on high heat, so cook it over medium to medium-low heat depending on how hot your cooking device gets.
- I like to put cooked patties in a baking dish to collect all the juices so I can mix it all up before assembling the sliders.
- If you want to make actual burgers, form 4 ounce patties.
