| Ranch dressing & cheese; strawberry mango salsa |
2lbs. lean ground meat
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning mix
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup crushed saltine crackers
1/2 cup chopped onion
Directions: Preheat the grill for high heat.
In a bowl, lightly beat one egg. Add the chopped onion and packet of ranch seasoning mix. Put some saltines in the sandwich bag, seal the bag, and use the rolling pin to crush the saltines. Measure out the crushed crackers, then add to the bowl. Add the ground meat and mix well.
Make sliders out to be a little smaller than the size of your palm, yielding roughly 8 sliders.
Place sliders on the grill and cook to personal liking.
Pair With: Go beyond the usual cheese, lettuce and tomato! Try topping your sliders with pepperjack cheese and homemade ranch dressing or strawberry mango salsa.
Once you go ranch, you can't go back--at least not back to the same plain ol' burger! One thing that could be swapped out or done differently is the use of wheat bread crumbles instead of the saltine crackers, as was done by Styleberry Blog. I used the saltines because they were easy. The onion was not overpowering; in fact, I hardly seemed to notice it as it was mixed with the ranch seasoning. Sliders are a great size to experiment with toppings. If you try something and don't like it, you can always wipe it all off and hose it down with ketchup. (Ketchup will fix just about anything.) Check your local grocery store's bakery as they might have slider buns, as I found.
