Tonight's cook: Sliders

Beanie-Bean

Did some ground chuck with some Tony's for the seasoning. Heated up the LBGE with a cast iron grill pan, and let 'er rip. Everyone was too busy trying to eat, I almost forgot to take some pics, so here's what I was able to get:




Here's one of the little ones chowing down on her burger:


I really like the burgers cooked like that--the spices seem to hold up more not being exposed directly to the flame. Time for some lemonade now--it's HOT out there today!

I agree Mike. For some reason, I think sliders hold the flavor better. I think she is enjoying her slider.
Hawiian Rolls for buns?

Nice looking mini-burgs there Mike. I too noticed the Rudy's cup - I think our "cup drawer" has about 50 of them in there. They're great for the lake...especially when filled with key lime margarita!!

Looks good.

Beanie-Bean

Yeah, I was going to put some pepper jack on there, but the new packaging for the cheese failed me, because there were some blue things growing on the cheese I was really bummed, but at least the sliders were tasty! I think that I shouldn't be trying to use fancy cheese one sliders--I should be using the regular american cheese.

Mini burgers. I like to cook mine on a CI skillet.


Remember White Castle?

Sliders are like little hamburgers... like Krystal or White Castle.

Beanie-Bean

Beanie-Bean

Tom,

The "lemonade" I drink says "Bud Light" on the side Yeah, I like to hit Rudy's at lunch to get away from the office sometimes.

Beanie-Bean

Yea mon! I like cups like that when I'm outside in the yard, because they don't break, and if I forget about it, that's OK too!

Beanie-Bean

Thanks! She is my youngest one, and likes what I like when it comes to food. My wife always tells me that.

Here's the blurb from Wikipedia:

Another variety of hamburger is the "slider", which is a very small square hamburger patty sprinkled with diced onions and served on an equally small bun. This is the kind of hamburger popularized by White Castle. The name comes from their size, whereby they are considered to "slide" right down your throat in one or two bites. Another purveyor of the slider is Krystal.

Here's the link. It's an interesting read:

Those look great, Mike! I remember a while back I think AZRP [edit: it was WessB--thanks, WessB] wrote that he rolls the ground meat between sheets of waxpaper then slices them out. Is that how you do yours?

Car Wash Mike

Pretty much.

I use some EVOO to get a better product and actually put in the freezer for a few minutes before cooking.

Hell I love crystals. Who knew? :silly:

I live in Columbus, OH, home of White Castle Headquarters. There's one right down the street. I've never been able to replicate the steamed burgers and onions, so I buy a sack now and then. Add some onion chips, and you're good to go.

You're usually good to go the next day too, especially if you washed them down with a cold beer or two. Erik

Thanks, Ross--you're absolutely right! Glad to hear that you guys are OK there after the quake.
