Cheater Chicken Parmesan Sliders

I admit, I don’t always cook up a big ole fru-fru dinner. In fact, sometimes I crave junk food. Or a take on junk food. I was rummaging through the freezer and found a batch of homemade pizza sauce. I decided to make some cheater chicken Parmesan sliders. They’re just what you might imagine: pre-made chicken nuggets, pizza (or marinara) sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, all served on slider buns for a quick and easy tasty bites. They’re actually very tasty and kinda fun to eat. They are also perfect game-time snacks.

Cheater Chicken Parmesan Sliders

Make sure you use nuggets that are slider-friendly when you make these cheater chicken Parmesan sliders. Chunky nuggets won’t do well here. You want flat ones, which is why I used the nuggets from Tyson’s. Chunky nuggets to make for great crispy chicken po boys, though.

Shot Glass Sliders

One of the latest fads is beer can burgers. They’re hollowed-out burgers stuffed with whatever you like, normally wrapped in bacon. Sort of like open-faced Juicy Lucy burgers. The BBQ Pit Boys do them up right as they do a lot of things. I decided to make my own twist on them. And since I prefer sliders over full-sized burgers, I went with a smaller version, my shot glass sliders.

I stuffed these lil bad boys with sauteed mushrooms and onions, then topped them with cheddar. They were flat-out delicious. The perfect little bites!

Feel free to wrap yours in bacon and stuff them with whatever you love!

Also try my chipotle ranch sliders. They’re bigger versions of my shot glass sliders.

For the burgers

Instructions

For the stuffing

  • Melt the butter with the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and cook, stirring often, for 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are golden and the onions are softened. Remove from heat.

For the burgers

  • Fire up your grill for indirect cooking.
  • Divide the beef into 6 2 1/2 ounce meatballs. Pack tightly so they stay together.
  • Take a shot glass and push it down into the middle of each ball, wrapping the meat around the outsides of the glass. Don’t press down so far that you puncture through the bottom – you’ll want about 1/3″ of meat all around. Push the glass down gently onto a flat surface to flatten the bottom.
  • Season the patties with salt and pepper and place onto the grill over indirect heat. Grill until the meat is almost at the desired doneness, 45 minutes or longer.
  • Spoon in the mushroom topping and add the cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted.
  • Toast buns as desired.
  • Top buns with the sliders and serve.

Cedar-Planked Beef Sliders

Grilling salmon on cedar planks is a pretty common thing. I’m not sure why I never thought about cooking burgers on them too, though. Bobby Flay thought about it. That means I had to make them too. These cedar-planked beef sliders were amazingly good.

The cedar adds just a bit of a twist to the burgers. They smell absolutely fantastic when cooking. The cedar flavor in the meat isn’t overwhelming. It’s there, though. It’s definitely something different and it adds a bit of a ‘wow’ factor to your cookout. The slider buns were also browned over the cedar for a little extra cedar flavor.

Cedar-Planked Beef Sliders

I served these delicious cedar-planked beef sliders with oven-baked fries and Crispers that were tossed in garlic oil and fresh choppy parsley.

I use this nifty little ole burger press to make these burgers. It’s the best thing ever for stuffing burgers with just about anything you can think of!

Cooking on cedar planks can really change the ordinary into something special, which is why I do it often. Check out my other cedar plank recipes: creamy mashed potatoes, Cajun mashed potatoes, Twinkies, chorizo portabellos, hot dogs, sausage sandwiches, shrimp and grits and spicy grilled shrimp.

Baked Sliders

Everyone loves sliders. Normally, I grill them, but this approach, which bakes them, is great in a pinch. And it is a fantastic way to make a huge batch of sliders in a short amount of time. These baked sliders are perfect for a football game party.

Baked Sliders

Just put out a ‘slider bar’. All the favorite burger toppings. You know the ones. Ketchup, mayo, mustard, pickles. Don’t forget a little iceberg lettuce. Oh, sheesh! I almost forgot the cheese! Don’t forget the cheese! Baked sliders are just like their grownup big-sized burgers, just a bit more fun to eat.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin Sliders with Chipotle Lime Mayonnaise

We grill pork tenderloins with great regularity. They are so tender (if you don’t overcook them), and like chicken breasts or most white fish, they take on other flavors very well. This recipe for grilled pork tenderloin sliders with chipotle lime mayonnaise combines a great southwest-inspired rub with a mayonnaise that is kicked up with some smoky chipotle and citrusy lime. Served as sliders, these little yummy bites are sure to disappear in no time.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin Sliders with Chipotle Lime Mayonnaise

The grilled green onions really add a nice dimension to these grilled pork tenderloin sliders with chipotle lime mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is also great on deli meat sandwiches and grilled chicken sandwiches. Ok, it’s great on any sandwich. I’ve also found myself using it on hot-off-the-grill hamburgers.

I recently discovered Blue Plate mayonnaise, which I think is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

I had no clue that you could buy chipotle lime mayonnaise online or in stores. I need to get out more. But it’s easy enough to make it yourself too.

Also try my grilled pork tenderloins with garlic mustard compound butter. They aren’t sliders, but they are awfully good.

Creole Crab Cake Sliders

I love Marguerite’s blog, Cajun Delights. I’m a big fan of food with great flavors (duh!) and a little kick. These Creole crab cake sliders are also very tender and juicy. They have a nice crunch to them too. And despite all the ingredients you still get that wonderful crab flavor. Crab cakes without crab flavor aren’t crab cakes in my opinion!

Creole Crab Cake Sliders

You can serve these Creole crab cake sliders with or without the buns. I thought they’d make them a little different. Oh, and be careful when you flip the crab cakes in the pan. They’re very tender and can fall apart on you if you’re not gentle.

Head on over to Cajun Delights and you’ll find plenty of other Louisiana-inspired dishes, all of them fantastic!

My red pepper remoulade is also fantastic on these sliders.
