Spicy Sliders Recipes

SPICY PULLED PORK SLIDERS

Steps:

• For the sliders: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a food processor, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, chile powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, jalapenos and onions and blend until a thick paste forms. Rub the paste all over the pork and place in a large Dutch oven skin-side up. Add 1 cup water, cover tightly with a lid and roast until just tender, 4 to 5 hours.
• Remove the lid and continue cooking until the pork is falling apart and a dark bark has formed, 1 to 2 hours longer. Allow to cool slightly.
• Remove the pork from the pot and remove and discard the fat. Shred the pork with 2 forks. Remove as much of the fat as possible from the sauce, then transfer the shredded pork back to the sauce. Stir in the spicy barbecue sauce to just coat the meat.
• For the fixings: Serve on mini buns with a toppings bar including bacon, Colorful Coleslaw, a variety of pickles [regular, pickled red onions and pickled jalapenos], whole-grain mustard, spicy barbecue sauce and hot sauce.
• Combine the mini sweet peppers, carrots and cabbage in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt and hot sauce. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Add the cilantro and mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

SPICY SLIDERS

Steps:

• Heat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees F (190 to 230 degrees C).
• Mix together ground beef, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and cumin in a large bowl. Form into 8 patties. Lightly oil grill grate, then grill patties until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Top with cheese during last minute of grilling.
• Puree cilantro, mayonnaise, jalapeno, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender. Spread mixture on bottom half of buns. Top with cabbage, patties, and bun tops.

SPICY ROAST BEEF SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Roughly chop roast beef until crumbly.
• Combine consomme, jalapeno, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Add roast beef, lower heat to medium-low, and simmer until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour and stir constantly until thickened into a gravy, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Slice rolls in half without separating rolls from each other. Put bottom halves on a baking sheet and layer with provolone cheese slices. Spoon meat mixture on the provolone and cover with Cheddar cheese slices. Add a thin smear of horseradish and place top rolls on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Cut sliders apart to serve.

SPICY JALAPENO SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, add ground beef, jalapenos, shallots, panko, heavy cream, cheese, garlic powder, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix together well. Form into small patties and place in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, add creme fraiche, salsa verde, pinch of salt and pepper and mix together. Refrigerate until ready to serve with your sliders.
• Lightly spread creme fraiche on both sides of buns. Place burgers in middle and pick it with a jalapeno.

SPICY JUICY LUCY SLIDERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onions, spreading them into an even layer. Cook, without stirring, until the edges of the onions are beginning to brown, 5 minutes. Stir the onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and caramelized, another 20 minutes. Add the chipotles, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until fragrant and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes, and remove from the heat.
• Preheat the oven broiler. Divide the meat into 12 portions, about 2 ounces each. Form a patty around each piece of cheese and flatten to 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter. Put the wrapped patties on a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle all the patties with 3/4 teaspoon salt.
• Broil until the cheese is melted and the burgers are still a bit pink inside, about 6 minutes. The burgers will be cooked to at least medium in order to melt the cheese but still stay juicy.
• Mix the ketchup, balsamic and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Brush the burgers with some of the ketchup sauce and divide the rest among the bottom halves of the buns. Place a burger on each bottom bun, top with some of the spicy onions and finish with a top bun. Serve warm.
