Jalapeno Stuffed Sliders

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Jalapeno Stuffed Sliders.

1. Step 1

   Begin by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Toss in diced onion and sauté until it becomes tender, which should take about five minutes.

3. Step 3

   Next, introduce the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks.

4. Step 4

   Continue to cook until the beef is nicely browned, roughly five minutes, and drain any excess grease.

5. Step 5

   Stir in water and taco seasoning, allowing the mixture to simmer until the water evaporates, about five minutes.

6. Step 6

   Once done, remove from heat and let it cool for ten minutes before folding in the grated Chihuahua cheese.

7. Step 7

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

8. Step 8

   Carefully slice the tops off the jalapeno peppers and scoop out the seeds and ribs.

9. Step 9

   Generously stuff each jalapeno with the beef and cheese mixture, using a chopstick to pack it in tightly.

10. Step 10

    Arrange the stuffed jalapenos upright in a casserole dish and bake in the preheated oven until they soften, approximately 45 minutes.

11. Step 11

    After baking, refrigerate the jalapenos for one to two hours to firm up the stuffing.

12. Step 12

    In a small bowl, mix together a quarter cup of water, sugar, and yeast, letting it sit until foamy, about five minutes.

13. Step 13

    In a larger bowl, combine flour, egg, milk, and butter, then add the yeast mixture and stir until smooth.

14. Step 14

    Knead the dough on a floured surface until it feels slightly sticky, around five minutes.

15. Step 15

    Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, covering it with a towel to rise for about twenty minutes.

16. Step 16

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

17. Step 17

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and form it into one-inch buns, spacing them an inch apart on the baking sheet.

18. Step 18

    Cover and let them rise until puffy, which should take about an hour.

19. Step 19

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

20. Step 20

    Brush the tops of the buns with a beaten egg and bake until they turn golden brown, approximately six to seven minutes.

21. Step 21

    Allow them to cool on a rack for about ten minutes.

22. Step 22

    Lower the oven temperature to 200°F (95°C).

23. Step 23

    Slice the chilled jalapeno peppers into quarter-inch thick rings and cut the buns in half.

24. Step 24

    Assemble your sliders by placing jalapeno rings between the bun halves, securing them with a toothpick.

25. Step 25

    Arrange the sliders in a casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil.

26. Step 26

    Bake the sliders in the preheated oven until they are warmed through, about ten minutes.
