Indulge in these decadent bourbon-glazed beef sliders with crispy onion tangles for a quick and easy dinner packed with flavor and satisfaction.
Ingredients
- • Ground beef (80/20): 1 pound
- • Bacon: 4 slices, chopped
- • Bourbon: 1/4 cup
- • Brown sugar: 2 tablespoons
- • Worcestershire sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Butter: 2 tablespoons
- • Small onions: 2, thinly sliced
- • All-purpose flour: 1/2 cup
- • Slider buns: 8
- • Mayonnaise: 1/4 cup
- • Dijon mustard: 1 tablespoon
- • Vegetable oil: For frying
Instructions
- 1 Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon pieces and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
- 2 In the same skillet, add the bourbon, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and let it simmer until the mixture slightly thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Add the cooked bacon back into the glaze and mix well.
- 3 In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into 8 small patties. Heat another skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 3 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Brush each patty with the bourbon glaze as it cooks.
- 4 In a small frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until they start to caramelize. Dredge the onions in flour and fry them in batches until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- 5 In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture on each half of the slider buns.
- 6 Assemble the sliders by placing a glazed beef patty on the bottom bun, topping with crispy onion tangles, and closing with the top bun. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • These sliders pair beautifully with a side of sweet potato fries or a tangy coleslaw to balance the richness of the beef. A cold, crisp lager or a refreshing iced tea would make an excellent beverage pairing, enhancing the flavors without overpowering them. For a little extra indulgence, consider serving these sliders with a side of creamy macaroni and cheese, adding another comforting layer to the meal. A garnish of fresh parsley or chives can provide a pop of color and freshness.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, use a skillet over medium heat to warm them gently, which helps retain the moisture and flavor of the beef patties. The onion tangles are best enjoyed fresh, but if needed, refresh them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
