BBQ Sliders & Co.
Food for thought. That’s merely what this is. Categorized under “Snacks,” these are all great on their own and, together, make a meal. In a reasonable amount of time from cutting board to plate, my semi-homemade approach to this one was perfect for a mid-week dinner. And tomorrow’s leftovers truly will be some delicious snacks.
Here’s the rundown:
Bourbon BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders
Mesquite BBQ Pork Sliders
Macaroni and (Blue) Cheese
Coleslaw
Oven fries
With no recipes to follow and not much of a plan, take this as inspo and enjoy a few tips and tricks along the way.
A quick garlic aioli took these garlic dusted oven fries to the next level.
For pulled chicken, tear apart a tender chicken breast and toss with your favorite barbecue sauce. I used a bourbon honey sauce.
In the ground pork, I added a mesquite dry rub blend and panko before forming into patties and grilling.
Dip on the side, drizzle on top. These snacks are only as good as the flavors that complete them. Check out my favorite sauce recipes.
I actually made two macaroni and cheese flavors here: blue and sharp cheddar. But I started with a simple base using fresh mozzarella, heavy cream, butter, and seasonings. Then I portioned it out, added the starring cheese and topped with panko before broiling.
