Little sliders







INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pkgs Dinner/Slider Rolls (16 rolls – Or mini hamburger buns)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  1. 2 1/3 cup beef broth or stock
  • 1 cup dried minced onions
  • 8 slices American cheese (optional)
  • 16 slices hamburger dill pickles
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper

DIRECTIONS

  • Line a 10″ x 15″ jelly roll pan (or any pan with a lip) with parchment paper.
  • Mix ground chuck, 2/3 cup of the beef broth, salt and pepper together until mixture is easily spreadable.
  • Gently press and spread meat mixture into prepared pan until you form a thin even layer.
  • Using a knife, score each into 16 equal rectangles.
  • Use your finger to poke 5 holes in each patty.
  • Place in freezer for at least 1 hour. Remove frozen patties and set aside (still on the parchment paper).
  • Preheat oven to 450F.
  • Pour remaining beef broth (1 2/3 cup) into the jelly roll pan and spread minced onions over the entire bottom of the pan.
  • Allow to sit for 5 – 10 minutes so the broth can soak in to the onions.
  • If using slider rolls, separate the bottoms from the tops. If using dinner rolls, cut them in half so that they become buns.
  • If using cheese, divide each slice in half
  • Place frozen sheet of sliders on top of the onions/broth
  • Bake for 10 minutes until the meat has been steamed (they will turn brown)
  • Remove pan from the oven and place cheese on each patty (if using cheese). Place the top of the bun on top of the cheese.
  • Return the pan to the oven for 3 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt (make sure to not leave it in so long that the bun gets too toasted).
  • Place a pickle slice on each of the bottom portions of the bun
  • Use a spatula to scoop up each slider (with the onions underneath) and place on the bottom bun
  • Serve and enjoy!

Low carb salmon patties

Ingredients

Salmon Patties:

  • ounces (drained weight) canned salmon
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
  • tablespoons mayonnaise
  • large egg
  • 1teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 1 diced onion 

Frying:

  • tablespoons olive oil

Spicy Dill-Garlic Dip:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
  • cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
  1. Combine all dill-garlic dip ingredients and stir together until well-mixed. Cover and refrigerate while you work on the salmon patties.
  2. Drain the canned salmon, and discard any skin. Use a digital food scale to measure out 6 ounces to use for this recipe (this is important if your can(s) did not list the drained weight, or if you removed a significant amount of skin).
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add all salmon patty ingredients and stir until well-mixed, breaking apart any large chunks of salmon. Divide the mixture into 6 equal-sized balls and use a turner spatula to flatten them into 2-3 inch patties (a nonstick working surface like parchment paper.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large pan (wide enough to fit 5 patties without touching each other) over medium heat until hot.
  5. Use a turner spatula to carefully lower patties, one at a time, evenly spaced out in the hot oil. Tilt the pan to ensure good oil coverage around all of the patties.
  6. Fry until they’re browned and crispy on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the patties and repeat for the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer them onto a paper towel to drain a bit.
  7. Transfer the salmon patties onto serving plates, depositing a dollop of dill-garlic dip on top of each cake with the remainder on the side. Enjoy while hot and crispy.
