Easy Slider Recipe Ideas For Busy Households

By Linda Ruiz


Smaller-size food items have become much more popular over the last few years and there are many foods to create for family and friends. If you are seeking quick and easy slider recipe ideas, you are fortunate in that there are multiple ways of making and serving these tasty little bites. They can make wonderful snacks, mid-day meals, or late-night hunger destroyers and can be assembled from a variety of ingredients and meats.

These items are usually made of ground beef. In fact, many individuals do not realize that there are so many other variations of this food item. There is a multitude of other meats that can fill the little buns. Condiments and toppings for these are also endless. They are so quick and easy to make and appeal to every age group. They can be served on a plate, from a buffet or passed to a crowd.

Ground beef varieties can be made even tastier with a variety of condiments. Place each one on a white or wheat bun and add tomato slices, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, mustard and sliced onions. Serve them with very thin onion rings and shoestring fries to keep the theme intact. Add mini hot doges and tiny shakes to provide 1950's theme foods to the event.

Turkey options are just as tasty as their beef counterparts. Grill a turkey burger, place it on a bun and add a dollop of cranberry sauce on the side. Mayo, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes and Swiss cheese are all you need to add to the bun for a healthy version of this favorite food. This is a great fall favorite and can be especially enjoyed around Thanksgiving.

Veggie burgers are the perfect solutions to those who do not or cannot eat meat. Other vegetarian toppings such as tomatoes, onions, pickles, lettuce and vegetarian condiments will add even more flavor. Serve with veggie chips or celery sticks, carrot sticks and broccoli florets for even healthier fare for a scrumptious and quick lunch or nighttime snack.

Cut leftover prime rib or thin slices of ham into smaller pieces and reheat to serve on the miniature buns. Add horseradish to give an extra tasty kick to the beef and a sweet orange or raisin sauce to the ham for a sweet pop of sugary flavor.

Select delicate pieces of ahi tuna for the seafood lovers in your group. Whip up or purchase a simple tartar sauce to enhance this distinctive seafood flavor. Crispy potato chips or fries will turn this meal into a fish-and-chips adventure.

Serve pulled pork sliders as they are very easy to make and serve. Place the tender meat along with a barbecue sauce on a wheat bun and pass to everyone at the gathering. Add pickles and onions for extra flavor. Side items can include potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, deviled eggs and more.

There are so many options to these appetizing and extremely versatile menu options. Serve at picnics, gatherings, family meals, birthdays and cocktail parties. Choose two or more for a truly inviting spread that will appeal to all ages and appetites. Adding a salad station, an array of condiments and a wide selection of mini desserts will give this food spread instant appeal for all of those in attendance.
