Monthly Mystery Munchies #33: B&B Sliders with Caramelised Onions
When my pal from the other side of the world suggested beef and bacon for this month’s theme, I said why yes! Of course, we can! I mean I just made it the week before the theme was revealed. It was just the perfect thing to do.
Only, I was bummed out that I did not take any photos as I did not think it was anything “theme-worthy”. Then Gen suggested this and I thought what the hell! So beef and bacon it shall be.
Since we are pretty much a pork-free household, my natural instinct is to substitute the bacon with turkey bacon instead. I’m sure Gen doesn’t mind with my choice of substitute and with that I decided on something super simple in the form of sliders.
Yep. Sliders. The burger-like sort of meal…mini sandwiches so to speak. The kind that can be served as snacks, as a prelude to dinner or dinner itself. I call it the B&B sliders.
B and B. That’s Beef and Bacon (turkey) for you.
The only extra ingredient I added into this slider was a generous serving of caramelised onions. Sweet, yummy and mojofied onions caramelised and sandwiched in between soft buns, deliciously seasoned beef, turkey bacon and cheddar cheese.
Ready to roll? Here’s the recipe:
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp butter
- 500g-800g minced beef
- 2-3 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp dried sage
- 2 tspn dried oregano
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Turkry bacon
- 8 soft buns
- Cheddar cheese
- Heat up pan and melt butter
- Add in onions with sugar. Saute and let it caramelise for about 5 minutes. Set aside
- Mix the minced beef with taco seasoning, oregano, sage, salt and pepper
- Flatten the meat into a flat pan and shove it into the oven for about 10 minutes to brown.
- Once browned, set aside.
- Slice the buns into 2 halves. Assemble the bottom half into a baking tray.
- Place the baked minced beef on top of it and layer the turkey bacon
- Continue to grill till the bacon strips turn a little brown and let the juice seep through the meat
- Remove the bacon and fry in the pan without oil. This makes the bacon crispy to be used as toppings
- To complete the assembly, spread cheddar and caramelised onions on top of the meat
- Cover with the other half of the bun
- Grill the bun into the oven for another 5-10 minutes before serving
Need I say more? This has once again been a real pleasure to make. So satisfying to layer it all up, one at a time!
Just when I thought I’ll be running out of ideas, Gen is there to give me a big nudge. Never mind the simple ingredients, MMM is brilliant, I tell you!
