Stuffed Sliders Your Way Recipes

CHEESY BACON-STUFFED SLIDERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil.
• In large bowl, mix beef, salt and pepper until well blended. Shape into 12 patties, 1/4-inch thick. Place 2 cheese quarters and 2 bacon quarters onto centers of 6 patties; top with remaining patties. Firmly pinch edges to seal. Place on pan.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted in center of beef part of patties reads 165°F. Remove from oven; top each burger with 2 cheese quarters. Return to oven; bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mash avocado with fork. Add dressing; mix until well blended.
• Place 1 burger on bottom half of each toasted bun. Top each burger with tomato slice, about 1 tablespoon avocado mixture and bun top.

RAVIOLI STUFFED SLIDERS

Steps:

• Cook the onions in the butter with some salt until very, very browned.
• Add the garlic and cook one minute.
• Add the can of tomatoes with the juices. Simmer and cook about 15 minutes.
• Add the ketchup to the sauce and blend until smooth.
• Meanwhile, boil your ravioli according to package instructions.
• To make the burgers, grab a handful of beef and press it onto a plate until very thin. Put one of the ravioli on the beef and wrap the beef around it. Try and press out any air but be gentle and careful not to break the ravioli. There will be rips, but just work to fill them in and remove any excess beef from the sides of the burger. Don't worry about getting it perfect.
• Grill the burgers until browned and cooked through. Top with cheese and serve on a bun with some of the sauce.

STUFFED PEPPERS MY WAY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in the rice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Place the peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until tender and skin starts to brown.
• While the peppers are roasting, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onions, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato, and cook for 5 minutes. Spoon in the cooked rice, and stir until heated through. Remove from heat, mix in the feta cheese, and spoon the mixture into the pepper halves.
• Return to the oven for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

ULTIMATE STUFFED CHEESEBURGER SLIDERS

Steps:

• Prep the grill by making a charcoal fire.

CHEESE STUFFED SLIDERS WITH BALSAMIC ONION JAM

Steps:

• Preheat the grill.
• To make the jam:
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they begin to turn golden and soften. Add a few tablespoons of water and cook until evaporated. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and stir to avoid sticking. Add the remaining water and cook until evaporated. Add the remaining vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook until evaporated, stirring constantly. Turn off the heat and set aside. (The mixture should be soft and broken down, like a lumpy jam.)
• To make the patties:
• Divide the beef into 12 equal pieces and form into patties approximately 1/4 inch thick. Place the cheese cubes on the center of six of the patties and place the remaining patties on top. Pinch the sides to form a tight seal.
• Grill the burgers over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Turn the burgers over and cook an additional 3 minutes or until done.
• Place the burgers on the roll with lettuce, if desired, and top with the jam. Place the top of the roll on the burger and serve immediately.

STUFFED SAUSAGE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Peel and shred enough of the apple to measure 1/3 cup. In a large bowl combine the 1/3 cup apple, oil, garlic, pepper, fennel seeds, salt, thyme, and nutmeg. Add ground pork; mix well.
• Shape a scant 1/4 cup pork mixture into a ball and use your finger to make a deep indentation in top. Fill indentation with 1 to 2 teaspoons cheese; press pork mixture to enclose filling. Reshape pork mixture into a ball and flatten into a 2 1/2-inch-diameter patty. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pork mixture and cheese. Cover and chill for 1 to 4 hours.
• For a charcoal grill, grill patties on the rack of a covered grill directly over medium coals for 10 to 12 minutes or until done (160°F), turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place patties on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
• Serve burgers in buns topped with Grilled Apple-Fennel Slaw. Grilled Apple-Fennel Slaw
• Fold a 36x18-inch sheet of heavy foil in half to make an 18-inch square. Coarsely shred apple and cut fennel into thin, bite-size strips. Place apple and fennel in the center of foil; top with vinegar, butter, brown sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring up two opposite edges of foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining ends to completely enclose apple mixture, leaving space for steam to build. Grill apple packet alongside patties for 10 to 12 minutes or until fennel is tender.

CHEDDAR STUFFED SLIDERS

Steps:

• Mix together the beef, salt, salt and pepper. Shape into 8-2 ounce balls.
• Fill each ball with a cube of cheddar cheese.
• Shape each burger ball into a small slider burger shape.
• At this point you can freeze in a resealable freezer proof bag or cook.
• I like to cook in the broiler for a few minutes to the desired doneness as the sliders are so small on the grill grates. You can also cook in a toaster oven if you are doing just a few as a quick after school snack.
• My kid likes to eat these without bread and dipped in ketchup with a side of dill pickles. You can use hot dog rolls cut into pieces to make mini cheeseburgers.

STUFFED SLIDERS YOUR WAY

Steps:

• Gently combine meat, eggs, cheese, parsley, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper with your hands. (Do not overmix).
• Form scant 1/4 cupfuls of meat mixture into about 30 meatballs. Push a cheese cube into center of each ball and encase meat around cheese, then slightly flatten each ball to a 2-inch diameter.
• Broiler directions:
• Preheat broiler. Put half of sliders on an oiled rack of a broiler pan and broil, turning over once, until just cooked through (no longer pink), 4 to 8 minutes total. Repeat with remaining sliders.
• Grill directions:
• For easy entertaining, go with a gas grill. Preheat all burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then adjust heat to medium-high. Grill sliders, in batches if necessary, turning once, until just cooked through, 4 to 8 minutes total.
• Make sliders with toppings and rolls.

MOZZARELLA STUFFED MEATBALL SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix ground beef, ground pork, eggs, onion, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and desired amount of Italian blend herb grinder in large bowl until well blended. Shape into 12 meatballs.
• Press 1 mozzarella cheese cube into the center of each meatball, forming meatball around the cheese to completely enclose it. Place in 13x9-inch baking dish. Pour sauce over meatballs. Twist Italian blend herb grinder over meatballs.
• Bake 30 to 45 minutes or until meat is cooked through. Serve meatballs on slider rolls with additional Italian blend herb grinder. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
