Sliders

December 20th, 2011 Posted in Beef, Main Dishes, Sandwiches, Snacks Tags: Hamburger, Party, Venison

2 lbs ground beef*

2 eggs

2 – 3 Tbl Olive oil

2 Tbl red wine vinegar

2 Tbl Worcestershire sauce

Garlic, salt, pepper to taste

Additional seasonings as desired

2 packages Hawaiian sweet rolls, sliced

~Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Mixture should be “wet”, vinegar, oil or water may be added to achieve this

~ Form into small balls and place on hot griddle that has been prepped with Olive oil

~Flatten with spatula and cook 4 – 5 minutes on each side or until done

~On separate smaller griddle pan heat small amount of Olive oil and “toast” rolls open face style (if you like onions, add a small amount of diced onions to the pan along with the oil)

~As burgers get done, place on toasted roll and top as desired with cheese, grilled onions and/or your favorite burger toppings

~Serve warm

*I use venison (1/2 venison 1/2 hamburger) – however any ground meat could be substituted
