Step 1

Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 to 375°F, set up for smoking/indirect cooking. Fill an A-MAZE-N Tube Smoker with your favorite pellets. Place on the lower cooking grate, to the left side. Light with a torch.

Step 2

To make the meatloaf, combine all ingredients, except the bacon slices, and mix well until the mixture is tacky. Roll the meat mixture into a log, about the diameter of the slider buns. Layout your bacon slices side by side. Place the meatloaf log on the bacon and roll the log, wrapping it in the bacon. Transfer to the second shelf of the cooker. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 160°F, about 45 minutes. Remove from the cooker and rest. Slice sliders (about the width of a half slice of bacon).

Step 3

Prepare your frying oil. Fill a Lodge Logic 7 quart dutch oven about half full of vegetable oil. Heat over medium high heat, until an instant read thermometer inserted in the oil reads 375°F. Reduce the heat to maintain that temperature.

Step 4

To make the onion rings, combine the flour, beer, water and Jack Stack French Fry Seasoning. Mix well. Toss the onion rings in the batter, then transfer to the hot oil, one at a time. Fry the rings for about four minutes on each side, or until light golden brown. Remove for the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to paper towels.

Step 5

To build your sliders, spread the bottom slider bun with cream cheese. Place the meatloaf slider on top, then a couple of onion rings. Smother everything in Big Rick’s Chipotle Ketchup and add the top bun.
