One of the many many things I love about summer is grilling! It makes me want to grill anything and everything. When I was moving to Indianapolis into my first big-girl apartment (many moons ago), my parents bought me a grill as a housewarming present. It was an Aussie grill, with a side burner and it was awesome! It traveled the states with me, moving from place to place, until April of this year, when, sentimentally, my parents replaced my old grill, with a new upgraded grill for my 30th birthday! It's huge, and what a difference a new grill makes! I love everything that comes with grilling too: eating outside, hanging with friends, fire-pits, etc.
Although this is kind of a repeat recipe, it's another way to look at an oldie but goodie.
Cheesy Factor (1 no cheese, 10 all cheese): cheese optional
Time Factor (1 shortest, 10 longest): 2
Dummy Factor (1 easiest, 10 hardest): 3
Summer Sliders
1 lb ground beef
1 package powdered ranch dressing mix
1 egg, beaten
5-6 saltine crackers, crushed
1/2 small onion, chopped
6 slices of bread, toasted
3 slices of cheese (optional)
Condiments
Heat grill to medium heat. In large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ranch mix, 1/2 of beaten egg, crushed saltines, and onion, and mix well. Form mixture into 12 small patties. Grill over medium heat until desired doneness (add cheese towards end to melt if desired). Toast all bread slices, then cut each piece of toast into 4 pieces. Serve each slider in between 2 pieces of toast, serve with preferred condiments. Makes 12 sliders.
Like I said, kind of a repeat of a burger recipe, but a new thing to do with it. I actually have another slider recipe I want to try, and since it's summer, don't be surprised to see a lot of grill recipes coming up.
