Description

These Jalapeño Cheeseburger Sliders are mini burgers packed with juicy ground beef, melted cheddar or pepper jack cheese, crisp jalapeño slices, and a tangy, spicy mayo. Perfect for parties or casual gatherings, these flavorful sliders offer a fun twist on classic cheeseburgers with a zesty kick.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese
  • 12 slider buns
  • 12 jalapeños, sliced

Spicy Mayo

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha
  • ½ tsp lime juice


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper, mixing gently to incorporate the seasonings evenly without overworking the meat. Shape the mixture into 12 small, evenly sized slider patties for consistent cooking.
  2. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for safety.
  3. Add Cheese and Jalapeños: Place shredded cheese on top of each patty followed by sliced jalapeños. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt fully and the jalapeños to warm slightly, enhancing their flavor in about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Prepare Spicy Mayo: While the patties cook, in a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth and well combined to create the spicy mayo spread.
  5. Assemble the Sliders: Spread the spicy mayo generously on the slider buns, then layer with the cheesy jalapeño patties. Close the sliders with the top buns and serve warm for best enjoyment.

Notes

  • For extra indulgence, add crispy bacon or caramelized onions to the sliders.
  • Adjust the number of jalapeños to control the spice level according to preference.
  • Use pepper jack cheese for a spicier cheese flavor or cheddar for a milder taste.
  • Slider buns can be lightly toasted for extra texture.
