Picnic Potluck

Jaycee Sliders
Originally the term “slider” referred only to the wonderful little burgers from White Castle. However since no one has been successful in copying their taste, it has come to mean any small size sandwich – hamburger or not. We find the three bite size perfect for parties. They can be elegant or casual, dressed up or down. Here we make two pans full because they disappear so quickly. 
 

Slave used a 5 lbs roll of hamburger – it was cheaper that way and only have a pound left over for other dishes. Smaller burgers means better portion control! Make up a batch and freeze the patties in zipper bags and the buns in their packages. Microwave a quick lunch when you need for the next 3 months!

 

 Ingredients

  • 2 packages (12 ounces each) Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • slices American cheese
  • 4 lbs pounds ground beef
  • 4 red onions grated
  • 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • GLAZE:
  • 1 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard

Instructions



Run the red onion through a grater. Trust me, it just takes to long to try this by hand.



Spoon this across the bottom of a two big cake pans.


In a large bowl mix the 4 lbs of ground beef with seasoned salt, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper, and 2 eggs. Mix this together and gently pat into the pan over the onion. Press evenly making a giant hamburger patty in each pan – it doesn't have to be perfect.

 

Bake at 400 for 30 minutes.
Allow meat to cool. Drain any excess fat and liquid. 
 


Cut into squares the size of the rolls. Stack and refrigerate until day of picnic. Drain any onion and save that covered in the refrigerator.


On day:
Pre heat oven to 375.
Cut a large piece of aluminum foil and place in baking dish. (If you are using a casserole dish, you may need two 9x13 pans. If you are using a cookie sheet, you may squeeze them all in tightly in the aluminum foil.)


Place the bottom halves of rolls on the aluminum foil.



 
Spoon a bit of onion on each and top with a patty.



Cut the slices of cheese into ¼th and lay on top then cover with the top half of roll.



Melt butter. Mix in Worcestershire sauce and tsp mustard. Brush butter mixture on top of Hawaiian rolls.


Cover sliders with aluminum foil and bake an additional 20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Peel back the top foil and serve from pan.

Now:
Jaycee Terrace Hot Dogs Two ways

Carolina dogs:

 

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup yellow mustard
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbs ketchup
  • 3 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 Tbs balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Directions:
Heat oven to 375°F.



Combine all ingredients for mustard-based BBQ sauce.


Cut three 1/4-in. deep slits on each side of the hot dogs; place in a 2-1/2-qt. baking dish. Pour the sauce over the hot dogs. Cover and bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until heated through. Serve on buns.


Saint Louis Puppies:
Fix a separate baking dish with a sweet BBQ sauce in place of the mustard sauce.
Bake covered along side.
They recommend cooking sausages to a final temperature of 155°F. 
 

Since I am also serving some roasted bratwurst, I coat them with oil and cut open the ends. Line a baking dish with foil but do not cover.
Place in the oven and roast for 35 to 45 minutes or until the flesh is soft and tender. Test with a fork, the pieces should be soft and the edges starting to brown. The roasting imparts a special flavor that along with the browning makes this wonderful. All ready at about the same time. 
 


This will be the main part of our first potluck dinner of the year.
