Yeah, I know it's not Election Day here in the USofA, but being as it's the last day of the favorite blog contest, I'm servin' up mini-burgers to all my friends who were so diligent about voting for me. It's been nip and tuck the last couple of days, but with any luck, we'll pull it out by the time the polls close tonight. Then I can order some of Kathryn's and Kimmi's books to give away in fun contests!
So, belly up to the picnic table and enjoy....
Election Day Sliders
(Recipe makes 8 minis.)
1 pound lean ground beef
1 large purple onion, sliced into thin rings
1 small package baby portabella mushrooms
8 slices American, Swiss or Provolone cheese
8 potato rolls
Sliced kosher dill pickles, Roma tomatoes, lettuce, avocado and condiments to taste
(Have bottle of Tabasco on table for individual use.)
1. Form burgers into balls, being careful not to overwork them into toughness. Heat large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, and saute onion rings and mushrooms in olive or canola oil.
2 . Put burgers into dry skillet and press down with spatula to form patty shapes. When the burgers are brown, about 2 minutes, flip to cook other side.
3. Top with cheese and leave in skillet until it melts.
4 . Place the burgers on the mini rolls and let each person dress burgers as desired.
Great with baked pita chips, fresh fruit tray and lemonade!

I'm hungry already and it's only 6 in the a.m. I'm glad I jumped over here through 2nd Cup a few weeks ago. I've put you on my "regulars" list since you do the two things I love--cooking (therefore, eating) and good writing. You deserved the best blog award. I'm making these sliders this weekend for our ranch company. I was wondering what I could make--I'll explore your other recipes too, because it appears you cook very similarly to me. (I live in Houston, with a lot of good recipes from my dear neighbor from N'awlins.) Love the pictures, too.
