Dark Roast Dreams Sliders

Makes 12 sliders

Ingredients for the Sliders:

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 small red onion, finely diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 1 tablespoon Dark Roast Dreams

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

• 12 slider buns

Ingredients for the Toppings:

• Smoked cheddar cheese, sliced

• BBQ sauce

• Crispy fried onions

• Sliced tomatoes

Instructions:

1. Make the Beef Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, olive oil, diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, Dark Roast Dreams spice blend, black pepper, and salt. Use your hands to gently mix everything together until well combined. Divide the mixture into twelve equal portions and form them into thin patties slightly wider than your hamburger buns.

2. Cook the Patties: Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Top with a slice of smoked cheddar cheese just before the patties are finished cooking to allow the cheese to melt.

3. Toast the Buns: While the patties cook, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a pan with a little butter.

4. Assemble the Sliders: Spread some BBQ sauce on the bottom buns. Top with a cooked beef patty, then add some crispy fried onions and sliced tomatoes.

5. Enjoy your Dark Roast Dreams Beef Sliders warm and delicious!
