Ingredients
Scale
Slider Ingredients
- 8 slider buns
- 1 pound sausage (pork, chicken, or turkey)
Caramelized Onions
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- Cheese (such as cheddar or provolone)
- Mustard
- Ketchup
- Pickles
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat to prepare for cooking the onions.
- Add Onions: Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them evenly with the heated oil and butter.
- Caramelize the Onions: Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until they become golden brown and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Cook the Sausage: While the onions caramelize, heat another skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked through. If using sausage links, slice them lengthwise to ensure they cook evenly.
- Assemble the Sliders: Place cooked sausage pieces onto each slider bun, then top generously with the caramelized onions.
- Add Optional Toppings: Add cheese, mustard, ketchup, pickles, or any preferred toppings to personalize your sliders.
- Serve Warm: Serve the sliders warm to enjoy the perfect blend of savory sausage and sweet caramelized onions.
Notes
- For best caramelized onions, cook slowly over medium heat to avoid burning.
- Slicing sausage lengthwise helps them cook faster and ensures more even browning.
- Feel free to substitute slider buns with mini hoagie rolls or dinner rolls.
- These sliders can be kept warm in a low oven (about 200°F) until serving.
- Adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the onions during caramelization adds depth of flavor.
