Slider Hold Out!

I realized I forgot to post the sliders recipe and I certainly don't want to forget about it!  These were incredible...from the sauce to the mushroom/onion topping...everything...if a slider could be perfection this would be it.  The flavors are amazing.  I kind of wanted to marry the Pioneer Woman when she said to throw in some cream to the ground beef...divine!  Here you go pals...I will probably make these as regular size hamburgers next time but Kim brought up a valid point and the sliders would be perfect to cook in an electric skillet.  She has all of her brilliant ideas just after I need them! 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayo
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon cayenne
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 of an onion-finely diced
8 oz white mushrooms-finely diced
1/2 cup red wine
4 dashes worceshire sauce
salt/pepper
2 pounds ground beef
4 tablespoons heavy cream
4 dashes woreshire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
pepper
4 slices swiss cheese
10 dinner rolls or slider rolls-split

Preparation Instructions


In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and cayenne. Stir together until totally combined. Set aside. (This is the spicy fry sauce.)

Melt butter in a large skillet. Add onions and cook over medium heat for five minutes, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms and toss around, then add wine (if using), Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Cook for several minute over medium heat, or until all liquid has evaporated. Transfer mushroom mixture to a separate bowl, scraping all contents from the skillet.

Mix ground beef, heavy cream, Worcestershire, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly mix ingredients. Form 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the meat mixture into patties, making an indentation with your thumb to keep the patties from plumping too much when they cook. In the same skillet as the one used to cook the mushrooms, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium to medium-high heat. Add four patties at a time, indented side face up. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip. Spoon generous portion of mushroom mixture on each patty, then top with one or two squares of Swiss, depending on your preference. Place lid on skillet and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until burgers are cooked through and cheese is melted. Remove to a place and keep warm while you repeat with the rest of the meat mixture.

Toast halved buns under the oven broiler. Spread generously with spicy fry sauce. Place patties between buns and serve immediately with fried onion strings.

This is the Pioneer Woman's photograph but I promise mine looked exactly the same!!  If I find my photo I will share!  

You will not regret this...after trying the mushroom/onion topping with some good quality swiss, I now want both on EVERYTHING!!!
