This slider was served as an app last night and it blew me away. I love burgers stacked high but the simplicity of this burger can’t be beat. Use the highest quality of ingredients you can find since there are so few.
Brioche bun, toasted (a brioche bun is a must)
Ground hamburger
Blue cheese crumbles
Spicy pickle, sliced
*Lemon Aioli
S&P
Bacon (optional),
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Toast bun and set aside. Combine aioli and let sit in fridge for 1-2 hours Combine blue cheese crumbles, red pepper flakes, and S&P into your ground meat, form small patties, and grill or Traeger. (Don’t overcook!) Spread aioli on bun and top with burger and bacon. Insert toothpick and spicy pickle on top. Lemon Aioli 3/4 cup mayonnaise 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 lemon, zested 1 lemon, juiced S&P
ETC.
Sliders are perfect because they’re small and you can indulge on one and add a huge green salad!
A healthy alternative is no bun and ground Chicken or Turkey but don’t leave out the blue cheese or a little aioli.
Use chunks of cheddar cheese instead of blue cheese for kids.
Use leftover hamburgers crumbled up over zucchini noodles with red pepper flakes and aioli to make a sauce (add extra lemon juice).
Turn leftover aioli into a salad dressing with extra EVOO and vinegar.
Add aioli to an open faced turkey sandwich for lunch the next day.
Make a salad with crumbled hamburger, pickles, tomatoes, cucumber, (the kitchen sink?) and leftover dressing
