Black Jack Sliders Mini Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat.
• Add the ground turkey to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in the cheese, mustard and Worcestershire sauce and mix until combined. Form the meat mixture into 12 equal patties. Sprinkle both sides of the patties with the Blackening Spice.
• Brush the griddle with some olive oil using a clean tea towel. Cook the burgers for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve on split rolls topped with the tomatoes and Special Sauce.
• Whisk together the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and onion powder, and transfer to a small plate.
• Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, Sriracha, relish and lemon juice in a bowl.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to high. Mix meat and next 4 ingredients. Divide meat into half and score each half into 5 pieces. Roll the meat into balls then squish it into small, thin patties, 3 inches across. You will yield 10 patties. To make a double batch or more, meat can be made into patties ahead and placed on cookie sheets to store 24 hours. These patties can also be baked on cookie sheets in preheated 400 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes. But, on a hot indoor or outdoor grill, these small burgers will take just 2 or 3 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Serve on dinner rolls with chopped lettuce, chopped onion and Special Sauce.
• To make sauce, combine ranch dressing with ketchup and black pepper.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place bacon on a broiler pan and cook for 10 - 12 minutes, until crispy.
• Meanwhile,Combine ground beef with 4T BBQ sauce, grill seasoning and bread crumbs.
• Form into small patties and using your thumb, form a deep indent into the center of each patty (this prevents them from shrinking).
• On an indoor grill, grill patties over medium heat until both sides have grill marks.
• Remove the bacon from the oven and lower the temperature to 350 degrees.
• Transfer sliders to the oven and cook for 4 - 5 minutes.
• Remove the sliders from the oven and top with condiments and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place dried onions and water in a bowl. Mix well and microwave for about 30-45 seconds. Let sit for 15 minutes, set aside (drain if onions are too wet).
• Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup later on.
• In a large bowl mix the ground beef, onion soup mix, peanut butter, and milk.
• Spread the ground beef mixture on the baking sheet and try to get it as thin as you can.
• Prick the beef with a fork.
• Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes.
• Remove from oven and drain liquid.
• Place cheese slices on top of the ground beef.
• Sprinkle the re-hydrated onions evenly over the cheese.
• Place the tops of the buns on top of the burgers (set aside the bottoms of the buns for later).
• Bake another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
• Remove from oven and cut into 12 squares.
• Using a spatula pick up each slider and place it on the bottom bun.
• Serve with the condiments of your choice.

Steps:

• Each burger is 1/4 cup of ground beef. I have those stainless steel measuring cups that come 4 to a pack and are broken down by 1/3, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 cup. Gently measure out 1/4 cup of ground beef and roll into a ball. Don't pack the meat into the cup. Do this for the rest of the meat, you should get 12 "balls.
• Take a sheet of wax paper (12x12) and put 2 meat balls on the lower half of the wax paper. Fold over the wax paper so that the meat balls are between it. Gently press each ball down evenly to make two THIN beef patties. (I gently press down and then take a rolling pin and roll them out nice and thin. The patties will appear to be the size of a regular burger, but trust me, after you cook it, it will decrease in size, and fit on the tiny buns.
• Lift the top layer of the wax paper up and "shape" the patties making sure they're nice and round. Once done, put the top layer back on and put to the side. Take another sheet of wax paper and do the same for the rest of the burgers.
• Take the dinner rolls and cut into thirds. (lay the dinner roll on it's side and cut into 3 even pieces.) Take the middle piece out leaving just the top and bottom of bun. If you want to make double burgers, you will only need 6 of the dinner rolls, not 12.
• Finely chop the onion and put 1/4 of the onion into a bowl with 1 cup of boiling water. Let it steep, this onion water will help "steam" your buns later. Put the rest of the chopped onion in another bowl and put on the side till later.
• Cut the 6 slices of cheese in half and arrange in a single layer on a sheet of wax paper and arrange the pickle chips on a plate. (you are doing all these preparations ahead of time since the burgers are thin they will cook fast and you want everything done and ready for cooking.
• Heat up your frying pan on medium high heat. (When I cook these burgers, I use 2 frying pans at once). Once the pans are hot enough, place the burgers into the pan and cook about 4 minutes. If the burgers appear to be cooking fast, you can flip them sooner.
• Once you flip the burgers, put 1 tsp of onions on each burger immediately. Let the burgers cook for 4 more minutes.
• Take some of the onion water and pour into pan, about 1/4-1/2 cup. This will help steam the burgers and bun. cook 1 minute.
• put a slice of cheese onto each burger. I like "steamed" buns, so after I put the cheese onto the burgers, I put one of those splatter shields over the top of the frying pan with the tops of the buns on it. This also serves as a top and helps melt the cheese.
• While the cheese is melting, arrange the bun bottoms on a plate and put a squeeze of ketchup and one pickle on each bun.
• Once the cheese has melted, place the burger onto the bun and immediately put the top on.
• Repeat until all the burgers are cooked.
• Enjoy!
