With the flavor of FUNYUNS®, barbecue sauce and tangy pickle in every bite, these cheesy beef sliders make an impressive and texturally varied party appetizer.
Ingredients
How to make it
1
Preheat broiler. Line baking sheet with foil.
2
Reserve 12 whole FUNYUNS® Onion Flavored Rings for garnishing.
3
In food processor, grind remaining FUNYUNS® until they resemble breadcrumbs (makes about 3/4 cup crushed).
4
In medium bowl, stir together beef, crushed FUNYUNS®, cheddar cheese, chili powder, salt and pepper until combined. Divide into 12 portions. Shape each into 1/2-inch-thick patty.
5
In small bowl, stir together barbecue sauce, mayonnaise and mustard until blended.
6
Heat large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush with oil. Cook patties, in batches if needed and flipping once, for 6 to 10 minutes or until golden brown, cooked through and no longer pink, and an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F when inserted into thickest part of patty.
7
Top each burger with folded halved American cheese slice. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds or until cheese has started to melt.
8
Meanwhile, butter cut sides of slider buns and arrange, cut side up, on prepared baking sheet.
9
Broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until buns are golden and toasted.
10
Assemble burgers in buns. Top with barbecue sauce mixture, pickles and reserved FUNYUNS® Onion Flavored Rings.
