June 11, 2017 – Taco Burger Sliders

First off, I want to thank everyone for the great response to my initial recipe. It is so exciting to be off to a great start and I am hoping to keep up the momentum. This weeks appetizer will be consumed a day early. My husband is off to a guys night to see Dave Chapelle. He is very aware that I am watching Fear the Walking Dead without him. His loss. And I’m having a girls night with the pups- Boo!Dog and Carrie. Painted nails, good food and lounging around… And ice cream for dinner. Lots of ice cream.

 

Tonight’s recipe is Taco Burger Sliders. Inspired by a dish that my awesome sister, Ann, makes (Taco Burgers). You may say “But burgers, isn’t that a meal” and I’ll respond, “That’s why [insert various higher power of your choice or science] made sliders!” Mini delicious burgers.

 

Ingredients

3/4 lb ground beef

6 Kings Hawiian Dinner Rolls (Or a dinner roll of your choice)

3 leaves of Lettuce

2 small tomatoes

Cheese for 6 sliders, we used Quesadilla Mexican Melting Cheese

1/4 cup sour cream

1 packet of taco seasoning

Peppers and onions *see note on step 11.

 

  1. Prepare the Sour Cream Mix, mix together 1/4 cup of sour cream and 1/4 a packet of taco seasoning. Mix well and put bowl in fridge to keep cool.
  2. Mix ground beef and remaining taco seasoning. Once well mixed, portion out into 6 small patties (pretend you are making meatballs then smush them)
  3. Push a thumbprint into the middle of each patty and place on stove, or grill.
  4. Cook thoroughly. Top with cheese if you would like and melt.
  5. While cooking, prep your buns, if not halved, slice each bun in half long-way.
  6. On the top half of each bun, put a small amount of sour cream mix and spread.
  7. Place cooked slider patty on bottom bun
  8. Top with 1 slice of tomato and 1 slice of lettuce
  9. Place top bun on
  10. Enjoy to your hearts content!
  11. *in the image you will see sauteed onions and peppers. They are a delicious addition however they are slippery and hard to eat so I left them out of the recipe. You can add if you want!
