Chef Nick list of players sliding down his player rankings.

When I was a kid my uncle Lou ran a hamburger stand that sold sliders and fries, that was it, they were the best sliders in the world.  Nowadays every Tom, Dick and Harry is making some sort of mini burger and callin it a slider, I tell ya it really burns my buns!  I was at this upper class joint in the city, and I couldn’t pronounce a fricken thing on the menu,  except one thing, sliders..  So I orders 6 sliders with everything, and would you believe that this fricken waiter brings me 6 tiny little beef tenderloin sandwiches with some saultee’d onions,  which I must admit was very fricken delicious, but if they can call that a slider, my uncleLou should be able to call his sliders Mini Filet Mignon Sandwiches.  Listen a slider is called a slider because the whole thing is so greasy and oniony that it just slides down your throat hence it’s name.  We’ll get back to this but first let’s look at the fantasy football sliders:

Drew Brees - No I am not fricken crazy here, I realy like Drew Brees and he should be a top 5 QB scorer this year no problem, but he’s not going to repeat what he did last year, it just wont happen.  Brady is back,  there are young up and comers too.  There is a better deal to be had later hell Brees wan’t even the first QB taken last year thus he had value in that he out performed his draft spot, he wont do that if you take him in first round.

DeAngelo Williams - In a lot of leagues last year it was DeAngelo Williams that led all RB’s in scoring.  He had a very strong second half, leading many to believe he’ll pick up where he left off last year,  but I think Jonathan Stewart plays yet a bigger role and that both these cats are goning to have good years but DeAngelo doesn’t finish inside the top 5 again.

Antonio Bryant - This guy has no chance in hell of repeating last years season now the Jeff Garcia is gone and the Bucs don’t have have jack at QB.

Back to those sliders, here’s whatchya need:

You need some fatty ground beef, don’t be buying ground sirloin, and I swear to you I will find you and beat you with a cast iron skilet if you try to do this with ground turkey or something!

Buns - You need the smallest buns you an get and please dont get some sort of fricken dinner roll, that’s ridiculous okay! Some of the supermarkets have slider size buns which are perfect, otherwise the cheapest smallest burger buns they got.

You need Mustard, Pickles and Ketchup

Lottsa Onion diced up, I mean lottsa!  You want so many onions that half are on the sandwich, half burn up in the pan and half fall on the fricken floor.  If da place don’t smell like onions and smell like sliders, you aint doing it right!

You need a griddle (I have one for my grill that is great!) if you don’t have a griddle and you want to make sliders I suggest you get a fricken griddle.  For now you can use your biggest skillet, what ever you makes your pancakes or grilled cheese sandwhiches on.  Greese that baby up with whatever, bacon greese, the olive oil, crisco, that spray stuff, whatever.

Make up some very tiny patties as thin as you can make em, get them on a platter, stack em if need be.  hit em up with some s&p.

Fire up that griddle and once it’s hot throw some of them patties on the back side and some onions on the front side.  flip your patties  once cooked on both sides get them onto buns, use your spatula to also push some onions into the burger fat and mix that fat in with your onions.  Grab the burgers you just made, bun and all andstack them on all them onions, our a little water around the edges, being careful not to pour onto burgers, and cover with a big domed lid!  wait 30 seconds or so and flip the burgers over for another 30 seconds, pouring more water, creating more steam if needed.

Remove from grill and top the burgers off with the onions, some sliced pickles mustard, and a little bit of ketchup!   Enjoy your genuine sliders!
