Description
Pumpkin-Shaped Sliders are a delightful and easy-to-make fall appetizer or meal. These adorable mini burgers are packed with savory flavors and a touch of seasonal pumpkin, perfect for a cozy autumn gathering.
Ingredients
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp onion powder
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. 1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, shredded cheese, pumpkin puree, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
2. 2. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and gently shape each one into a small, round patty with a slight depression in the center, resembling a pumpkin shape.
3. 3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the pumpkin-shaped sliders for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the centers are no longer pink.
4. 4. Serve the pumpkin-shaped sliders warm, garnished with fresh thyme, rosemary, or other autumn-inspired toppings.
Notes
For added flavor, you can mix in a tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice to the patty mixture. These sliders also pair well with a creamy pumpkin dipping sauce or caramelized onions.
