Best Burger Sliders Or Mini Man Burgers Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S BEEF SLIDERS

Steps:

• Place ground beef onto a work surface; divide into 8 equal-size pieces using a knife or pastry cutter. Line 8 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Sprinkle bottoms of paper liners with salt and black pepper. Form each piece of burger into a rough ball and place into a muffin cup. Season tops with salt and pepper.
• Place a second paper liner on top of each piece of meat and gently press it down to shape the mini burger into a round, flat shape. Pull off the paper tops and remove burgers from the muffin cups; remove bottom paper liners from burgers.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burgers in the hot skillet until they have a browned crust and are slightly pink in the middle, about 3 minutes per side. Flip burgers and cook 3 minutes on other side. Remove burgers to a plate to rest for 2 minutes.
• Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish in a bowl; spoon a dollop onto each bun. Place burgers onto buns, season with more black pepper, and top with a tomato slice. Close buns and serve.

• Mix together the ground beef and onion soup mix in a large skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Remove from heat. Stir the mayonnaise and Cheddar cheese into the ground beef mixture.
• Lay the bottoms of the dinner rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the cheese and beef mixture on the bottom half of each roll. Replace the tops. Cover with another sheet of aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the burgers are heated through and cheese melts, about 30 minutes. Serve with sliced pickles.

BURGER SLIDERS (OR MINI MAN BURGERS) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250°F. For indoor grilling, preheat a griddle to 350°F. For outdoor grilling, preheat a gas grill. A Weber is okay, but a lot of waiting for some mini burgers. Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside. Make the mayonnaise mixture, and season or flavor as desired. If you don't like pickle relish, leave it out! Line a jellyroll or sheet pan (or any large work area) with parchment paper, and place the ground chuck in the middle of the pan. Cover the meat with a large sheet of plastic wrap. Roll meat with a rolling pin until it covers the surface of the pan; it should be very thin. Remove the plastic wrap, and sprinkle the meat with the seasoning mixture. You could add thinly sliced or grated cheese, at this point, which would be delicious! Fold the meat in half, from side to side, using the parchment paper*. Use a pizza wheel, bench scraper or long knife, to cut the meat into 8 even squares. If you don't have/use parchment paper, no worries. Just be sure to wash your hands really well, after handling raw meat. Wrap the buns in foil and place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the burgers on the griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the buns from the oven. Spread a small amount of mayonnaise on each bun and top with the burger and any other condiments, as desired. Serve immediately. Notes: I loved the idea of rolling the ground beef thin. My future idea is to layer thin cooked mushrooms and Swiss cheese. These are easy and fun to make. You can kick up the sauce by adding some diced chipotle, but go easy...these are smoked jalapenos, which is very hot!

BURGER SLIDERS WITH SECRET SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix beef, eggs, 1/2 cup minced onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper just until combined; do not overmix. Place meat mixture on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet; shape into two, 6-in. x 8-in. rectangles, each about 1/2-inch thick. Bake until a thermometer reads 160°, 15-20 minutes., Meanwhile, without separating rolls, cut rolls in half horizontally. Spread 1/4 cup of dressing evenly over bottom halves of rolls., Blot meat with paper towels to remove excess fat; top meat with cheese and return to oven. Bake until cheese has just melted, 2-3 minutes. Place meat on bottom halves of rolls; spread with remaining 1/4 cup dressing. Layer with pickles, remaining 1/4 cup minced onion and shredded lettuce; replace with top halves of rolls. Brush butter on top of rolls; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

MINI MAN BURGERS WITH GRILLED ONIONS

Steps:

• Combine the garlic powder, black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Combine the onions and 2 teaspoons kosher salt in a bowl and set aside for 10 minutes. Strain and reserve the juices.
• Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and place the ground chuck in the middle of the pan. Cover the meat with a large sheet of plastic wrap and roll out the meat with a small rolling pin into a large rectangle that covers the surface of the pan; it will be very thin. Remove the plastic wrap. Add a thin layer of yellow mustard and season the meat with the spice mixture.
• Pick up the edge of the parchment and fold the meat in half, widthwise. Roll a couple of times just to seal the two layers. Refrigerate for 10 minutes then cut into 8 even squares with a pizza cutter.
• Preheat a griddle pan over medium heat.
• Spread the onions out on the griddle in an even layer in a rectangular shape. Put the patties on top of the onions. Resist the urge to press them with your spatula. Squeezing burger patties is the culinary equivalent of picking at a scab, and you remember what your mom told you about that. Pour over some of the remaining onion juice to create steam. Top each patty with a slice of cheese and the bottom half of a bun. Cover the griddle with foil (but do not seal) and reduce the heat to low. Steam the burgers until cooked, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Construct burgers thusly: Add pickles and mustard to each bun top. Using a large spatula, pick up a burger-bottom bun stack and place it on the top half of a bun. Repeat with the remaining burger stacks and bun tops until there's nothing left to build.
• Consume mass quantities.
