February's Slenderized Recipe




Andie's Aloha Sliders

Makes 12 Sliders


12 Kings Hawaiian dinner rolls, cut in half

1.5 pounds ground beef, such as sirloin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon Worcestershire
2 tablespoon ketchup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 eggs
½ cup panko bread crumbs
salt & pepper to taste

8-10 ounces blue cheese crumbles
1 bag baby arugula
2 cups Trader Joes Fresh Papaya Salsa


1. ( If desired ) Arrange the rolls on a sheet pan and broil on high until the rolls are lightly toasted and golden. Or you may skip this step. Either way, you will need to pre-heat the broiler for a later step.

2. In a bowl, combine the ground beef with the garlic powder, Worcestershire, ketchup, mustard, egg, bread crumbs and seasonings. Mix well and then divide into 4 equal portions, then again into three small portions from each quarter. Mound into balls and then lightly flatten.

3. Heat a large heavy skillet to medium high and add a small amount of oil. Cook the patties, 6 at a time, for 3-5 minutes on each side depending on desired doneness. Remove and place all patties on a sheet pan.

4. Place a small amount of blue cheese crumbles on each and broil just until the cheese begins to melt, less than one minute.

5. On each bottom bun place a small amount of the salsa, followed by a slider patty and top with the arugula followed by the top bun. Enjoy!
