Beef and blue cheese sliders

4.0 / 5 FROM 1

Here is our version of an American classic - a beef and blue cheese slider, inspired by our recent trip to LA.

Burgers

500 g Beef mince
½ Onion, diced
3 cloves Garlic, finely diced
3 Tbsp Sweet chilli sauce
¼ cup Breadcrumbs
1 Egg
2 Tbsp Tomato sauce
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Ground paprika
1 tsp Garlic powder
5 drops Tabasco sauce, optional
¼ cup Finely chopped parsley
1 dash Olive oil, for cooking
12 Slider buns
12 Cornichons, optional

Blue cheese sauce

1 Tbsp Butter
½ Onion, finely diced
3 cloves Garlic, finely diced
250 g Cream cheese
100 g Blue cheese
50 ml Cream

Crispy onions

1 Onion, sliced
1 cup Milk
1 Tbsp Garlic powder
2 tsp Paprika
1 dash Canola oil, for deep frying

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 100C. In a large bowl, mix the first 12 ingredients together for the patties and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Roll into golf-ball-sized balls and place on a tray lined with baking paper. Place in the fridge until ready to cook.
  3. Heat the oil in a large fry pan over a medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, pushing down into a patty shape about 1.5 cm thick. Fry the patties for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Place cooked patties in the oven until all of the patties are cooked.
  4. To make the sauce, in a saucepan over a medium heat, melt the butter and add the onion. Season and cook for 5 minutes or until softened.
  5. Add garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the cream cheese and blue cheese and cook until both are melted. Add the cream and cook for a further 5 minutes over a low heat. Season to taste.
  6. To make the crispy onions, soak the onion rings in milk for 20 minutes. Drain and toss in garlic powder and paprika.
  7. In a deep saucepan, heat the oil to 175C and deep-fry the onions until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season.
  8. Slice the slider buns in half and lightly toast. Place a patty, a spoonful of the sauce and some crispy onions on to each bun. Top each with a cornichon skewered with a toothpick.
