(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Healthy

Ingredients

  • Mushroom-Blue Cheese Sliders
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 lb ground sirloin
  • 2 tbsp steak sauce
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 4 small soft rolls, about 2" in diameter
  • Chipotle-Bacon Sliders
  • 2 tbsp mayo
  • 1 tbsp chipotle pepper
  • 1/2 lb ground sirloin
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 oz shredded sharp Cheddar
  • 4 small soft rolls
  • 4 strips cooked bacon
  • Caramelized onions

Directions

  1. Mushrooms and Blue Cheese

  2. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and garlic and saute for 60 seconds, until fragrant but not brown. Add the mushrooms and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mushrooms are nicely caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Season the sirloin with salt and pepper; form into 4 patties, being careful not to overwork the meat. Brush each patty with steak sauce. When the pan is hot, add the burgers and cook for 3 minutes on the first side, then flip. Add the blue cheese crumbles to the cooked side and continue grilling for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the patties are firm and the cheese has begun to melt.

  4. Remove the burgers. While the pan is still hot, toast the rolls. Brush them with a bit more steak sauce if you like, then top each with a burger and mushrooms.

  5. Chipotle and Bacon

  6. Mix the mayo and chipotle pepper. Prepare and cook the burgers as above, omitting the steak sauce and subbing cheddar for the blue cheese. Spread the rolls with a bit of the mayo mixture, then top with the burgers, bacon and caramelized onions.
