Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Panorama Organic Grass-Fed Ground Beef
  • 1 rustic French baguette, sliced into sixteen 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon jalapeno, pickled or fresh, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup tortilla chips, crushed into very small pieces
  • 1/2 cup chipotle tomato salsa or favorite salsa
  • 2 slices Monterey Jack cheese, cut into fourths (total of 8 pieces)

Step 1

Step 1

Lay 8 slices of the French baguette onto a serving tray. Form beef into 2-ounce patties less than ½-inch thick, squeezing the edges of the patties tightly. TIP: For 2-ounce patties, slice a 16-ounce package of beef lengthwise vertically and then horizontally 3 additional times. This should give you 8 portions.

Step 2

Step 2

Season beef patties by sprinkling with ground cumin, sea salt and pepper. Place patties, one at a time, into the crushed tortilla chips in the bowl. Make sure the patties are fully coated and then return them to the cutting board.

Step 3

Step 3

Preheat large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Place the beef sliders in the skillet and wait until they are nice and crusty on the first side, about 2-3 minutes, and then flip and cook another 2 minutes.

Step 4

Step 4

When the beef sliders are fully cooked, place one slider on top of each of the 8 slices of baguette on the serving tray.

Step 5

Step 5

Add salsa to the still-hot heavy skillet where the sliders were cooked. Cook the salsa in the skillet, stirring for approximately 1 minute or until the salsa is slightly thickened and then remove from heat. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the warm salsa and then a piece of the Monterey Jack cheese on top of each slider. Place the remaining baguette slices on top and enjoy!
