Instructions
Preheat the oven broiler to high and set the top oven rack to the second highest position.
In a medium bowl, add the ground beef, mustard, garlic, and onion. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and mix with a fork or your fingers until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 portions and shape each into small patties. Set patties on a plate and gently press each with your thumb in the center to keep them from puffing up while cooking. Set to the side.
In a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, heat one tablespoon olive oil. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are nicely browned, approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer mushrooms to a small bowl and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to pan and swirl to coat the bottom. Add slider patties to the skillet and cook until brown on each side, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the sliders from the heat and top each one with sautéed mushrooms and crumbled blue cheese.
Now place the skillet in the oven under broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until blue cheese starts to melt.
Remove the skillet from the oven and top each slider with a piece of bacon. Serve immediately on a bed of lettuce and with a side of steamed broccoli, if desired.
