Cheese Puff Sliders Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
- 1 cup crushed cheese puffs (like Cheetos)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 slider buns (or small dinner rolls)
- Sliced cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite)
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, ketchup, mustard
how to make Cheese Puff Sliders:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Cheese Puff Coating:
- Crush the cheese puffs into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed cheese puffs with breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.
- Make the Slider Patties:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter (to fit your slider buns).
- Coat the Patties:
- Press each patty into the cheese puff and breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- Cook the Patties:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until browned (they will finish cooking in the oven).
- Alternatively, you can bake them directly in the oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Assemble the Sliders:
- Place the cooked patties on the bottom halves of the slider buns.
- Add a slice of cheese on top of each patty.
- Add your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.) and condiments (mayo, ketchup, mustard).
- Toast the Sliders (Optional):
- Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 3-5 minutes to melt the cheese and toast the buns slightly.
- Serve:
- Serve warm and enjoy your crunchy, cheesy sliders!
