BBQ Sliders

BBQ Sliders – this is worth the effortGather the following ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef
Seasoning
4 Tbls. butter
1 whole large yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup Whiskey

1 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 cup jalapeno diced

12 buns

Large frying pan

Dice the onion and jalapenos very small.

Divide the ground beef into 12 small patties. Season both sides with your favorite seasoning mix.

Melt the butter in the skillet over a medium-high heat. Cook the patties until they are almost done in the middle. 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the pan and set aside.

Leave 2 Tbsp. of grease in the skillet. Cook the diced onions in the skillet for about 3 minutes.

Turn off the stove for a minute if cooking over a gas flame before you pour in the whiskey. Poor in the whiskey.

Stir and cook until the whiskey is reduced by half, 2-3 minutes.

Stir in the jalapenos and BBQ sauce.

Reduce the heat to low and put the patties back into the pan. Turn them over to coat both sides. Allow the patties to simmer in the sauce until it is hot and bubbly.

Serve each slider on a bun with a spoon full of sauce over the patty.

* You can toast the inside of the bun by coating it in butter and cooking it in a pan until toasted.

Add brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir.

Simmer on low a little while until you think it is ready. Watch to make sure it doesn’t burn.

Serve on a bun when ready. Maybe with feta cheese, dill pickle relish, and ketchup.
