Burger Sliders

You have probably noticed these little mini burgers, commonly named sliders popping up at restaurants all over the place. SO, as with so many other things I see, I thought to myself, "Hey, I can make those!" Once you see how easy they are, I am sure you will be saying the same thing.

Mini Burgers
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1 egg
1 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
salt and pepper
additional seasonings as desired (some suggestions--garlic salt or powder, chili powder, paprika, parsley, italian seasoning, dry mustard, the possibilities are endless)

Combine above ingredients well. Scoop out about 1/4 c. of the meat mixture and form into a mini patty-should be about 1 1/2" in diameter. Heat a skillet to med-high heat and place patties in the pan. Cook for about 3 mins on each side or until fully cooked. (you may want to cut one in half and make sure it is pink but not red or bloody on the inside) Remove to a paper towel lined plate.

For the buns you can use rolls or hot dog buns that you cut into sections. Serve immediately.

*Obviously, there are so many variations of how these can be served? How about with some bbq sauce and bacon? Or with some pepper jack cheese and avocado? You could even set up a "toppings bar" with tons of different choices for people to make their own. (great party idea!)

For mine today, I served them with homemade french fries and fry sauce. These are definitely going to become a frequent meal in our home!
