I have to be honest, I never really “got” the whole slider idea. I get that they are small and fun, but why so much fussing over such a teeny tiny bun? To me, a sandwich or a burger~full size, just makes more sense. And keep the appy’s to dips/veggies/etc. Well, I think I finally “get” it. They ARE fun. They ARE small. They ARE NOT so much work. And you can have TWO and feel like you’re being naughty.
I like to experiment on new recipes when Joe is gone. I’m not sure why. We love to do that together. But if a dish (that just might be on the dinner menu) is a flop, then I don’t feel so horrible resorting to dip for dinner, although being as sweet and amazing as he is, he would eat whatever the disaster was with a smile on his face, and then we would discuss what we might change the next time around. That’s just how we work together.
I ran across several slider recipes. They all looked and sounded divine. A tiny burger slider, however, just sounded like a whole lot of fun to make, as well as eat. Ty agreed. Bite~size morsels that you can dress up with any condiment of your choosing: a tiny pickle, a shred of lettuce, a dab of mayo, one jalapeño. Perfection!
Sláinte!
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 Tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 7.5 ounce Colby~Jack cheese slices
- 12 count Mini Ciabatta Rolls* (toasted)
- In large bowl, combine ground beef, steak seasoning, Worcestershire Sauce and salt.
- On a 12x17 baking pan, press ground beef mixture with hands/rolling pin to even out.
- Sprinkle onion over meat mixture (I only did half because not everyone likes onion in our house).
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until meat is cooked through (it will shrink up a bit).
- Remove from oven, drain fat from pan and lay 6 slices of cheese over the top. Return to oven and bake an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cut into 3x3 squares (approx).
- To toast rolls, turn oven to broil. Spread a very light layer of butter on the inside top and bottom roll. Place on foil lined baking pan and broil for approx. 4 minutes, or until rolls are toasted to your liking.
- Place two patties on roll and add condiments of your choosing.
*Ciabatta Rolls can be found in most bakery sections. I found mine at Wal~Mart.
