Recipes 8 Great Slider Recipes By Food & Wine Editors Updated on April 4, 2023 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Photo: Photo by Eva Kolenko / Food Styling by Carrie Purcell / Prop Styling by Jillian Knox Who can resist a bite-size burger or sandwich? Sliders have the versatility of serving beef, lobster, pulled pork, and more proteins — including veggie patties — as passed hors d'oeuvres or appetizers, salad accompaniments, or charming portions for parties, potlucks, and outdoor gatherings. Our best slider recipes showcase steak, sloppy Joes, and shrimp, with homemade accompaniments, from onion jam to coconut-cilantro chutney. We even have lamb, quinoa, and carnitas sliders, coffee-cured pulled pork served as sliders, and a straightforward sirloin burger best paired with sweet potato fries. 01 of 08 Stilton Sirloin Burgers with Onion Jam © Frances Janisch These juicy mini cheeseburgers combine ground sirloin with Stilton cheese on brioche or kaiser rolls.
