Sliders

  • 1 lb ground beef, 80/20
  • 8 slider buns, sliced in half
  • 4 slices of bacon, cut in half and cooked until crispy
  • 2 small Roma tomatoes, sliced
  • 8 pickle slices
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed with a squeeze of lime juice
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced in rounds
  • 8 small butter lettuce leaves
  • kosher salt

Spicy Mango Yogurt Sauce

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen mango, cubed
  • 1/4 c Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1–2 tablespoon cilantro leaves
  • zest of 1 lime
  • kosher salt

Instructions

Spicy Mango Yogurt Sauce

  1. In the small bowl of a food processor or in a blender, combine the mango, yogurt, lime juice, Cajun seasoning, and cilantro leaves. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with kosher salt as needed.

Sliders

  1. Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions (2 oz each) and form into balls.
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet, comal, or griddle over medium-high heat.
  3. Place a ball of ground beef onto the skillet; cook for 10-20 seconds then smash the burger.
  4. Season the burger with kosher salt and pepper (if desired) and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Flip the burger over and cook for an additional minute.
  6. Repeat until all the beef has been cooked.

Assemble the Slider

  1. Toast the buns under a broiler until lightly browned.
  2. Remove the buns from the broiler and allow them to cook just a bit.
  3. Spread the Spicy Mango Yogurt Sauce on the bottom and top halves of the buns.
  4. Layer the slider ingredients beginning on the bottom half of the bun in this order:
    • Lettuce leaf
    • Tomato slice
    • Pickle slice
    • Beef patty
    • Onion slices
    • Mashed avocado
    • Bacon
    • Top Bun

Notes

  • Want to make full-size smash burgers? Increase the size of each ball of ground beef to 4 oz.
  • Don’t overwork the hamburger meat or it will turn out tough.
