Sliders made with Green Finished Beef

At my niece's wedding this fall we were introduced to a beautiful rendition of sliders, sans buns. These mini burger bites were the cutest little burgers I had ever seen. And, how thoughtful, as the menu offered many naturally gluten-free foods, which meant our daughter could partake in almost everything but the cake! (Although the bride had also been thoughtful enough to have wonderful chocolates and truffles aside just for our daughter in lieu of cake).

So here is the easy recipe just for you!

For the patties:

1 lb. Green Finished ground beef (from Beyond Organic's ranch)

1/2 small onion, minced

salt and pepper

*Mix ingredients and shape approx. 2 Tbsp. of the meat mixture into a patty, and do the same with remaining meat. Fry patties in medium hot, heavy bottomed (or iron) fry pan with real, organic, salted butter. Fry until each side is browned nicely and middle is barely pink. Set aside when finished.
My daughter loves to help me cook!
Try to keep them the same size so they will all cook at the same temperature
Cooked patties resting and waiting to be dressed up for the occasion!

Condiment toppers:

2-3 small dill pickles, sliced

3-4 grape tomatoes, sliced

your choice of cheese (I used Beyond Organic's raw milk cheddar cheese) cut into small pieces

sturdy lettuce (romaine is my choice) torn into small pieces

*Stack one of each condiment on top of each other and spear with a toothpick, until you have enough for each patty. Then place speared condiments on top, then spear the toothpick through each patty.





And here they are, cute as buttons! A tasty, fun way to get your CLA's (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), vitamins, minerals, and Omega 3 fatty acids!

A wonderful appetizer or snack for beef connoisseurs of any age!
