A Stress Free Picnic Recipe * So Easy Sliders

Pin It




When you have friends over for a picnic, its no fun for the person to have to stand at the grill. Making a bunch of make ahead munchies can offer you more time with your guests.

This recipe could replace grilling burgers. It's made on the bar pan stone and you can get this in my kitchen store anytime. Don't forget to make some herbed buttter (soften it, add your fav herbs and spices, mix and put it in the corn butterer, available in my store also)

One last tip, this can be made with any ground meat, and also, your fav vegan "burger' recipe. You an cut these before or after you cook them. Wendy's burgers are always square, why not?

Burger Sliders


Ingredients:
  • 1 medium onion (about 1 cup/250 mL
    finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup (50 mL) finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1½ lb (750 g) 90% lean ground beef
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
  • 6 slices American or mild cheddar cheese
  • 8 hot dog buns
  • 24 hamburger dill pickle slices
1. Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C). Finely chop onion and parsley using Utility Knife or the Food Chopper Combine beef, onion, parsley,
garlic pressed with Garlic Press and salt in Classic Batter Bowl; mix well using Small Mix ‘N Scraper®. Press beef
mixture evenly over bottom of Large Bar Pan. Bake 10-12 minutes or until beef is no longer pink.


2. Meanwhile, cut cheese into quarters; set aside. Slice buns apart neatly at seams (do not separate tops from bottoms).
Trim about ¼ in. (6 mm) from each bun end to square off ends (discard trimmings). Cut buns into thirds for a total
of 24 square mini buns; set aside.


3. Remove bar pan from oven. Pour off juices, if necessary, and cut beef mixture into 24 squares using Pizza Cutter.
Top each burger with one pickle and one piece of cheese. Place one bun top onto each burger; top with one bun
bottom. Cover bar pan with aluminum foil and bake 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted and buns are warm.


4 . To serve, place one burger with bun top onto one bun bottom. Repeat with remaining burgers and bun bottoms.
Serve immediately.

This is not my pic, I snagged it offline. I don't have the coil stove anymore...boo, hate my new glass top stove)



I should note, this will shrink in the pan, just as a burger would. I also used two pounds of meat. The fattier the meat, the more shrinkage.

you can also cut these normal sized and put them on a roll. the kids think they taste like white castle burgers.

oh and I put the cheese on and baked it another min, not on the bun. I did drain it but didn't want to put the bun bottom on the greasy stone
