Yield: 10 Sliders
Prep Time: 45 Minutes
Ingredients
Texas Pete®
Original Pimento Aioli
(Yield: 2 cups)
- ½ teaspoon Texas Pete® Dust
- ¼ cup Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce
- 5 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 4 oz. pimento peppers, drained and minced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
To Assemble
- 6 Tablespoons CHA! by Texas Pete® Sriracha Sauce
- 30 oz. ground beef
- salt and pepper
- 10 slices American cheese, 3” squares
- 10 ea. 3” slider buns
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 2 ½ cups cheddar cheese, finely shredded
- 1 Tablespoon Texas Pete® Dust
- 30 slices dill pickle
- 2 cups Texas Pete® Original Pimento Aioli
- 10 ea. lettuce leaves, 3-4” in size
- 20 slices Roma tomato, 1/8” thick
Directions
- Combine Texas Pete® Dust, Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce, cream cheese, pimento peppers,
mayonnaise, and shredded cheddar in a food processor. Pulse until combined, scraping as necessary.
Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
- In a bowl, mix CHA! Sriracha Sauce with ground beef. Form into ten 3-oz patties, about 3” in diameter
each, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Cook the patties on a flattop or grill set to MEDIUM-HIGH heat, flipping once, until cooked to your
desired temperature. While the burger patties are hot and resting, place a slice of American cheese on
top of each one. Hold the patties in a warm place until ready to assemble.
- Brush slider buns with melted butter and toast lightly until golden.
- While the buns toast, make the chickle chips by sprinkling ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese on a flat top or nonstick pan set over MEDIUM heat. The pile of cheese should be slightly larger than the width of your buns. Repeat this process 9 more times to begin making a total of 10 chickle chips.
- Lightly season the melting cheese with Texas Pete® Dust, then place three pickle slices on every portion. Allow cheese to become crispy on one side (approximately 45 seconds), then flip and cook for another 10-15 seconds before removing from heat.
- Assemble each burger bite with approximately 3 Tablespoons of pimento aioli, 1 cooked patty with
American cheese, 1 chickle chip, 1 lettuce leaf, and 2 slices of Roma tomato.
- Serve or enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
