Sliders

Sliders last night. I also made some sauteed mushrooms and some caramelized onions, plus your regular fare of sliced tomato, fresh onion, pickles and cheese.

 

Sliders

 

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 pound ground chuck

8 (3-inch) buns or rolls, split in half

2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

 

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees F. Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

 

Line a jellyroll or sheet pan with parchment paper, and place the ground chuck in the middle of the pan. Cover the meat with a large sheet of plastic wrap. Roll meat with a rolling pin until it covers the surface of the pan; it should be very thin. Remove the plastic wrap, and sprinkle the meat with the seasoning mixture. Fold the meat in half, from side to side, using the parchment paper. Use a pizza wheel to cut the meat into 8 even squares.

 

Wrap the buns in foil and place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the burgers on the griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side.

 

Remove the buns from the oven. Spread a small amount of mayonnaise on each bun and top with the burger and any other condiments, as desired. Serve immediately.

 

 

 

 

Instead of mayonnaise and instead of heating up the oven, I just tossed the buns on the griddle and seared them in the juice from the sliders. Added flavor and wasn't any more fat/grease than would already have been on these things.

what size is a jellyroll or sheet pan??

Actually, skip that part. I just rolled them out on my counter between parchment and plastic wrap. I started with a cookie sheet but the sides were too tall and I couldn't get my rolling pin deep enough into the pan to roll it out.

That's what I was thinking just gotta form it up around the edges a little . Gonna try it Saturday with the nieces here.
