How to Make Sloppy Joe Enchilada Sliders
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step by Step Guide
1. In a large pan, toss in the ground beef, diced peppers, onion, and your seasonings. Cook over medium to high heat for about 7-10 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through. Once it’s ready, drain any excess grease, then stir in the oatmeal.
2. Pour in the enchilada sauce and sprinkle the brown sugar over the mixture. Stir it all together, bring it to a boil, then let it simmer on low for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while this simmers away.
3. On a medium-sized baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lay out the slider buns. Slice them in half and set the tops aside. Once your beef mixture has thickened, pile it generously over the bottom buns. Top with 6 slices of pepper jack cheese.
4. Place the tops of the buns back on, then take the remaining 2 slices of pepper jack and cut them into thin strands to mimic “shredded cheese.” Sprinkle this over the tops of the buns, followed by chopped scallions. For an extra pop of flavor, feel free to sprinkle a bit of paprika on top.
5. Pop these beauties in the oven for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is all melted and bubbly. Then, cut the sliders apart and serve them warm. Enjoy every cheesy, savory bite!
