Indulge in quick and easy beef and cheddar donut sliders with a sweet and spicy maple sriracha glaze for a crazy good dinner treat.
Ingredients
- • ground beef: 1 pound
- • cheddar cheese slices: 4
- • plain glazed donuts: 4
- • maple syrup: 1/4 cup
- • sriracha sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • soy sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • unsalted butter: 1 tablespoon
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • shredded lettuce: 1 cup
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat. While the skillet heats, divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties slightly larger than the donut holes.
- 2 Season both sides of each beef patty with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- 3 Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt over the beef. Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest.
- 4 In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- 5 Slice the glazed donuts in half horizontally. Toast them lightly in the skillet for about 1 minute on each side, just until warm and slightly crisp.
- 6 Assemble the sliders by placing a beef patty on the bottom half of each donut. Drizzle with the maple sriracha glaze, top with shredded lettuce, and cover with the donut top.
Serving Suggestions
- • These indulgent sliders pair beautifully with a simple side of crispy sweet potato fries or a fresh coleslaw to balance the richness. For a perfect beverage pairing, consider serving with a cold craft beer or a refreshing iced tea with a hint of lemon. Add a few pickled jalapeños on the side for those who enjoy extra heat, or a dollop of creamy ranch dressing for dipping the sliders or fries. This meal elevates casual dining to a gourmet experience with minimal effort.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the beef patties and donuts separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the patties in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, and lightly toast the donuts in the same skillet. Assemble with fresh lettuce and glaze just before serving to maintain the best texture.
