Super Bowl Sliders! Grass-Fed Deliciousness for Every Team!

Atlanta Falcons Slider

No matter who you were rooting for, Super Bowl LI was legendary.  It can't be re-created.  But you CAN re-create the food that was served!

Our guests LOOVED that we had a True Aussie grass-fed beef slider for each team, with ingredients that are significant to that team's region.

We asked each of our guests which one they liked the best, and the winner was ATLANTA...hands down!  But the reason?  Because you could REALLY taste the great flavor of the BEEF!

If you haven't tried grass-fed beef, you're missing out on the incredible, rich flavor, the lean but juicy and tender texture, and all the health benefits of eating grain-free beef, like lower cholesterol and higher Omega-3 fatty acids!  Add the flavors of grilled balsamic peaches, or Boston baked bean hash browns and you've got a party!



Atlanta Falcons Grass-Fed Sliders with Grilled Balsamic Georgia Peaches

Prep Time: 30 minutes / Cook Time: 10 minutes / Servings: 6-8

Ingredients:
Atlanta Falcons Slider
  • 1 lb. True Aussie ground beef 
  • 16 oz. bag sliced frozen peaches 
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar 
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 
  • 1 cup baby arugula 
  • 8 oz. burrata cheese, cut into 6-8 pieces 
  • olive oil spray 
  • salt and pepper 
  • 6-8 ciabatta slider rolls 
Steps:
  1. In a large mixing bowl combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Whisk until combined. Stir in the peaches, cover, and set aside to allow them to marinate and thaw for about 15 minutes. 
  2. Form 6-8 small slider size patties with the beef. Handle the beef as little as possible to maintain tenderness. Sprinkle both sides of the sliders with salt and pepper and set aside to rest. 
  3. Spray a grill with olive oil spray and heat to high heat. 
  4. Remove the peaches from the marinade and place them in a wire grilling basket. Place the peaches and the sliders on the grill for about 6-8 minutes, flipping once during cooking. 
  5. In the last few minutes of cooking, spray the ciabatta buns with the olive oil spray and toast them for 1-2 minutes on the grill. Remove the sliders from the grill and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before building and serving. 
  6. To build the sliders: Place the bottoms of the ciabatta buns on a serving dish. Place a slider on top of the ciabatta bun. Place some of the burrata cheese on top of the slider. Top each one with some of the baby arugula and place 2-3 pieces of the grilled peaches on top of the arugula. Serve immediately.


New England Patriots Grass-Fed Sliders with Bean Town Hash Browns

Prep Time: 1 hour 30 minutes / Cook Time: 35 minutes / Servings: 6-8

Ingredients:
New England Patriots Slider

  • 1 lb. True Aussie ground beef 
  • 26 oz. bag frozen hash browns 
  • 1 cup Boston style baked beans (your recipe or canned)
  • 12 oz. package bacon
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6-8 pretzel slider rolls
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil spray
Steps:
  1. In a large mixing bowl combine the frozen hash browns and the baked beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix with your hands until combined and form 6-8 slider size patties.  Place them on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper and place it in the freezer for about 1 hour. 
  2. In a medium saucepan combine the shredded cheese, heavy cream and garlic powder.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Stir on medium heat until a thick, creamy cheese sauce is formed.  Keep warm until ready to serve.  Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming.
  3. In a large skillet, cook the bacon on medium high heat until crispy.  Remove from the drippings with a slotted spoon and chop the bacon into small pieces. Reserve the drippings and set aside. Stir the bacon pieces into the cheese sauce just before serving to maintain crispiness.
  4. Keep the bacon drippings heated on medium high heat.  Add the hash brown patties 3-4 at a time and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and heated through.
  5. Form 6-8 small slider size patties with the beef. Handle the beef as little as possible to maintain tenderness. Sprinkle both sides of the sliders with salt and pepper. 
  6. Spray a grill with olive oil spray and heat to medium-high heat. Cook the sliders for about 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping only once and then allowing them to rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
  7. Remove the pretzel rolls and place them on a cookie sheet or place them in the toaster oven.  Heat on 300 degrees for about 5 minutes before serving. 
  8. To build the sliders: Place the bottoms of the warm pretzel rolls on a serving dish. Place a slider on top of the pretzel roll. Place a hash brown patty on top of each slider.  Stir the bacon into the cheese sauce and spoon some of the sauce on top of each of the hash brown patties.  Place the top of the pretzel rolls on the sliders and serve!
