Mini Burger Slider Board
Makes 12 sliders
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 white minced onion, divided
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 package, 17 ounces dinner rolls
- 1/2 cup Marie’s Thousand Island Salad Dressing, divided
- 3-4 slices Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese, divided into squares
Condiments:
- 8-10 large Iceberg lettuce leaves
- 4 small tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup pickle slices
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- Cherries
- Strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, mix beef, eggs, 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, 6x8-in. rectangles, each about 1/2-inch thick. Bake 8-10 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350° and bake an additional 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, without separating rolls, cut them in half horizontally. Spread Thousand Island dressing evenly over bottom halves of rolls (optional). Lay down the lettuce leaves.
- Blot meat with paper towels to remove excess fat; top meat with cheese, and return that portion of the buns/meat/cheese 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 (optional). Replace with top halves of rolls.
- Gently cut the sliders so they are easy to pick up.
- Allow guests to add their own sauces, red onions, pickles, and tomatoes.
- Separate into 2 sections/plates and place on the board.
- Fill small bowls with mustard, ketchup, pickles, and special sauce. Set on the board.
- In the center, add a big bowl of watermelon.
- Lay down the remaining condiments, and fill in open areas with cherries and strawberries.
Notes
TIP: Build the board, set out the plates on the board, and add the hot sliders right before serving, to ensure sliders are hot!
