5 minute read | Recipes

Imagine it's New Year’s Day, and you're still recovering from the night before. Three things are essential: fresh air on an outdoor patio, a delicious meal cooked on a PGS Grill, and a top-shelf Bloody Mary. Why not combine them all into one perfect morning?

That’s why grilling bacon sliders to serve alongside a refreshing Bloody Mary is a must. This recipe for a premium Bloody Mary, grilled bacon sliders, and some grilling tips will help you start the year right.

How to Make a Top-Shelf Bloody Mary

Grabbing a pre-made mix from the store is not the way to go if you want something special. Instead, take the time to gather high-quality ingredients. Here's what you’ll need:

  • Old Bay Seasoning
  • 3 ounces of Grey Goose, Absolut, Cîroc, or your favorite vodka
  • 1 teaspoon of dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground celery seed
  • 3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 dashes of Tabasco sauce
  • 1 ounce of pickle brine
  • 4 ounces of tomato-vegetable juice
  • 1 lemon wedge
  • 1 teaspoon of red horseradish

Once you have everything ready, simply squeeze the lemon into a shaker, add all the ingredients, shake well, and pour over ice. Rim the glass with Old Bay seasoning and top with a grilled bacon slider.

How to Make a Great Slider Garnish

A perfectly grilled bacon slider can balance out the bold flavors of a Bloody Mary. Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients Needed:

  • 1 pound of lean ground beef (Angus preferred)
  • 4 thick slices of bacon
  • 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of garlic powder
  • Sliced dill pickles
  • Lettuce
  • 1 sliced tomato
  • ½ onion, sliced
  • American or Swiss cheese
  • Slider rolls (potato bread is ideal)
  • Condiments
  • Skewers

Mix the ground beef with BBQ sauce and garlic powder. Form into 2–3 ounce patties. Cook on a hot grill, flipping only once to lock in juices. Add cheese when nearly done and let it melt under the lid. Prepare the buns with condiments and layers of veggies before adding the slider.

How to Cook Bacon on an Outdoor Gas Grill

There’s nothing like the smoky aroma of grilled bacon. But cooking it on a gas grill can be tricky. The key is to avoid flare-ups caused by dripping grease. One method is to use a cast-iron skillet on the grates. Place the bacon in the pan, cook on medium heat until crispy, then flip. Another option is to use indirect heat—place the skillet on the cooler side of the grill and slow-cook for more flavor.

What to Do If a Grease Fire Happens

If a fire starts, never use water—it can spread the flames. Instead, cover the pan with a lid, turn off the heat, and smother the fire with salt or baking soda. If it gets out of control, use a fire extinguisher and call emergency services.

Once the bacon is cooked, place it on paper towels, cut in half, and put it on the slider rolls. Then, assemble your Bloody Mary with a skewer that holds the slider in place. Add extra garnishes like celery, cherry tomatoes, or olives for a festive touch.

Whether you’re celebrating alone or with friends, a grilled Bloody Mary with bacon sliders is the perfect way to ring in the new year. Enjoy the flavors, the smoky aroma, and the comfort of a great meal on a PGS Grill.
