Cheese Stuffed Sliders with Balsamic Onion Jam | The Suburban Soapbox #eatliquidgold #sliders

I love small food. I feel like if I am eating small food, Iā€™m eating lessā€¦even if it ends up being more. And then I can try a bunch of different things and Iā€™m not committed to eating one item that I may not like. Iā€™m always that person at a restaurant that wishes I ordered what the other person is eating. It never failsā€¦but if I ordered a bunch of small dishes then I would have a variety of things to eat, you know, just in case I didnā€™t like my entree. Like a back up plan.

This burger is a spin on a Juicy Lucy Burger we love at a local restaurant. That cheese stuffed burger is a standard sized beef burger and a total gut buster so I made a mini Juicy Lucy recipe because you can just enjoy one or two….or three.

Well, these sliders are small but you definitely will not need a back up plan. In fact, you may need to make a double batch. Theyā€™re that good. And the surprise inside is an oozy, melty cheeseā€¦like liquid goldā€¦pouring out after your first bite. They are incredible. Your guests will meltā€¦just like the cheese. Theyā€™re knee-buckling good. So, now that Iā€™m thinking about itā€¦youā€™re going to need to triple the batch because you may end up fighting over who gets the last one.

If necessary, making more is not a problem because theyā€™re made with only five ingredients + VELVEETAĀ®. Yep, thatā€™s rightā€¦five (plus a few staples like salt, pepper and water). That includes the Balsamic Onion Jam, which cooks in a pan in just 15 minutes. These Cheese Stuffed Sliders are simple to prepare, youā€™re going to make a meat sandwich and place a small block of cheese inside. When you grill the mini burgers, the cheese melts into a liquidy, golden, pool of heaven. Itā€™s seriously amazing. And the Balsamic Onion Jam provides a sweet contrast to the saltiness of the cheese and the beefy flavor of the burger. Itā€™s a match made in burger heaven.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 vidalia onions, small dice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, I used 80/20
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, divided
  • 6 ounces VELVEETAĀ® Cheese, cut into six cubes
  • 6 slider rolls

Instructions 

  • Preheat the grill.
  • To make the jam:
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sautĆ© until they begin to turn golden and soften. Add a few tablespoons of water and cook until evaporated. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and stir to avoid sticking. Add the remaining water and cook until evaporated. Add the remaining vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook until evaporated, stirring constantly. Turn off the heat and set aside. (The mixture should be soft and broken down, like a lumpy jam.)
  • To make the patties:
  • Divide the beef into 12 equal pieces and form into patties approximately 1/4 inch thick. Place the cheese cubes on the center of six of the patties and place the remaining patties on top. Pinch the sides to form a tight seal.
  • Grill the burgers over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Turn the burgers over and cook an additional 3 minutes or until done.
  • Place the burgers on the roll with lettuce, if desired, and top with the jam. Place the top of the roll on the burger and serve immediately.
