Sliders for a crowd {of 9 year olds...}

notkateanymore · October 2012

Anybody have a good way to make a lot of sliders? And what do you use for buns? We're having a "glamping" party for DD's birthday in the Spring, so one of the foods I came up with was sliders...because everything tiny is cute to 9yr olds. BUT, I have never found a good way to make a lot and still have them be good. I don't want to do them at the very last minute either if I can help it.

Yes. Put either a pork tenderloin or a beef roast in the crock pot all day. When meat is shreadable, add half a bottle of BBQ sauce. Mix. Use tongs to put on tiny buns. Sara lee makes mini buns or use kings Hawaiian rolls.

You will have to play with the jar size it a bit, but I use an old peanut butter jar lid (the thick plastic kind), and some saran wrap. You place a piece of saran wrap on top of the jar lid, put the burger in, and press it in (I sometimes use a glass to get even pressure, sometimes I just use my hand). Then I pop the whole thing out and wrap it. You can do it a day or so in advance, and then you just have to unwrap and grill when you are ready.

I'm thinking we have a variety of definitions of "sliders" here in this post :-P

Sorry y'all! I mean burger sliders...the original slider!

I found a recipe where you can broil the patties in the oven, that might work for a big group.

I once made a recipe for a party that had you season the beef and then flatten it down thin into a 9x13 baking dish, bake in the oven, then cut to size and put it on the bun. I remember them being pretty tasty, but I can't remember the exact recipe I used. I *think* it might have been from allrecipes. It was definitely easy and yielded a good result. I would imagine you could double it and make it on a big sheet pan too if you needed more burgers.

GL!

Yum. What other food are you having? Cute party idea!

I have no idea...just started thinking today. The party isn't until May {I know...I'm THAT kind of planner/dreamer} so I'm being a nut starting this early. I may use a local caterer that is very reasonable. If I do, I'm thinking sliders or grilled chicken bites, mini pizzas, maybe mac and cheese bites. Tiny food is so cute to 9 yr old girls!

I saw this earlier. It's to make a White Castle burger? You put it over dehydrated onions and bake? Looked yummy!

Oh and we'll be having s'mores for sure. DD LOVES to make s'mores and we're getting a new firepit this week. It'll be a little hot, but oh well.

It's actually a combo Troop Beverly Hills/"Glamping"/Outdoor movie party...so far.

Troop Beverly Hills? Love that movie!

Oh yes! I showed it to DD the other week and now she is as obsessed as I was!

Google Troop Beverly Hills shower and there is a {girl scout themed actually} bridal shower that pops up. It's my inspiration. I'm going pink, green and gold with the colors...

Yes! I think that was the one. It turned out really well if I remember correctly and way easier than trying to deal with a large number of small patties.

I've been told by the Tiny Terror that sliders aren't girly enough. She has ok'd tiny pizzas and "pigs in a pillow" instead of a blanket. LOL I'm still working on the sliders though...so cute and everybody loved them!
