Inside-Out Onion Ring Sliders w/ Adobo BBQ Sauce

March 1, 2011 26 comments Article Lunch, Main Course, Meat, Recipes, Sauces, Side Dishes

One thing I really miss about summertime is being able to grill. Grilling is fun, social and delicious. I have really been craving some warmth and sunshine lately, maybe it was the week of -30 degree temperatures a few weeks ago that made me sick of winter. Either way, with hopes for an early spring, I decided to make burgers this week, except I sauteed them instead of grilling them since winter is unfortunately still here for now.

I had seen a photo of an inside-out burger recently and the idea seemed pretty awesome. I added one homemade onion ring to the top of each slider to create a seriously tasty combo; added a bit of adobo barbecue sauce that I had made previously and voila! The perfect miniature burger for a spring-time grill out.

Inside-Out Onion Ring Sliders with Adobo Barbecue Sauce

Yields 10 Sliders

For the Onion Rings:

  • 1 small yellow onion (sliced into rings and separated)
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
  • oil for frying

For the Adobo BBQ Sauce:

  • 3 tbs butter
  • 1/2 yellow onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/6 cup chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 1/2 tbs cider vinegar
  • 1 tbs brown sugar
  • 1/2 tbs worcestershire sauce

For the Burgers:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp parsley
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 10 (3/4″) cubed slices pepper-jack cheese (or cheese of choice)
  • 10 miniature burger buns
  • 2 roma tomaos (sliced)

Directions:

  1. For the barbecue sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the onions and garlic and sauté over medium heat until soft (about 5-10 minutes).
  2. Add the chiles in adobo sauce, ketchup, vinegar, sugar, and worcestershire sauce, then cook over medium heat until thickened (about 5-10 minutes). NOTE: If sauce is not thickening, add a few tablespoons of flour.
  3. For the onion rings, heat the oil to 375F and combine the flour, garlic, salt and breadcrumbs in a medium bowl.
  4. Dip each onion ring into the beaten eggs, then coat with the flour mixture and fry until golden (about 1 minute each). Lay to cool on a paper towel.
  5. For the burgers, combine the ground beef, egg, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and knead together.
  6. Form 10 miniature burger patties with the beef.
  7. Next, slice each one in half and add one cube of cheese in the middle of each patty, then fold the edges back together.
  8. Sauté the burgers over medium-high heat or grill until cooked to desired doneness (about 3 minutes per side for medium).
  9. Heat the oven to broil and toast the buns until golden (about 1-2 minutes).
  10. Spread barbecue sauce over each bun, then layer with one patty, one slice of tomato, and one onion ring.
  11. Place the top of each bun on each slider and serve.

    Great Little Sliders! The spices give that extra punch that turkey always seems to lack!

    Well Done!

  • Liz March 1, 2011 at 5:39 pm

    What a great quote. It is so true, I am always the one to eat too much then feel sick! haha

  • Peggy March 2, 2011 at 3:53 am

    Ooooh! I really love the Adobo BBQ sauce! I’m sure these little guys were awesome!

  • The Kitchen Noob March 2, 2011 at 1:23 pm

    Seeing these makes me hungry. Ohhh man, onion rings!

    I only discovered chipotles in adobo a few weeks ago. I enjoy their versatility adding a smoky, bbq tang and heat to dishes. Just a little goes a long way.

  • Savour the Senses March 2, 2011 at 2:39 pm

    A little definitely does go a long way. I learned that the hard way the first time I made this BBQ sauce, it was so good, but I could barely eat anything with it!

  • DesignWine and Dine March 3, 2011 at 5:47 am

    I have been craving sliders! These look wonderful! I love the onion ring on top and the chipotle I know adds a ton a flavor! YUM!

  • Joy March 8, 2011 at 8:23 pm

    Those look great. I love inside out burgers.

  • SassyChef March 9, 2011 at 9:17 am

    Oh, and there we have it! Filipino food has yet gained so many lovers! Adobo is really delicious and its sweet-savory taste compliments meat well. 🙂

  • Stephanie March 18, 2011 at 11:52 pm

    Looks delish – thanks for the great recipe. Haven’t ever cooked with adobo before but I love smoky flavors. Just tried green chillies for the first time last week – so good in soup! Can’t wait to try your recipe. Its already warming up here in California. Bring on the grill 🙂

  • Savour the Senses March 19, 2011 at 7:00 am

    You have discovered my obsessions. I put green chiles in practically everything I can!

  • Jim August 30, 2011 at 6:08 am

    Looks delish, but for the record: they’re not steamed over onions, so they’re not sliders. They’re actually mini-hamburgers (albeit mini Juicy-Lucy’s, which is an innovation right there…)

    You learn something new every day. Thanks for the info!
