Countless numbers of us, on a daily basis, are faced with the challenge of filling multiple roles. We must be spouses, parents, professionals, etc., and still find time and energy after all that to be health-conscious individuals! Life shouldn't be an exhausting struggle, it should be a collection of one enjoyable, memorable, fulfilling, experience after another, should it not? I mean, pardon the cliché, but life's too short to let it be anything else.

I am a self-proclaimed food hobbyist on a quest to find delicious, healthy, fast, easy-to-make recipes and to successfully make those food adjectives actually belong together in a sentence. I am looking for after work meals that don't come out of a can, that I can enjoy preparing after a long work day, that my family will enjoy eating, and that will allow me to rest assured knowing that we are eating healthy. When I find these meals, I wish to share them with others. Cheers :)

Heisenburger Sliders!

Heisenburger sliders - guaranteed to be a huge hit at any BBQ, these little gems pack a HUGE punch of flavor. They have been a summer favorite for us this year.

The recipe and name was conceived by my lil sister....the name was inspired by our favorite TV series right now...."Breaking Bad". The main character's alias is Heisenberg, and the name of these little burgers has become commonplace in our family.

Ironically, Heisenberg was one of the most important physicists of the 20th century and is most famous for his uncertainty principle-highly relative to Walt's life in Breaking Bad, but not so relative to our little Heisenburgers, as there is no uncertainty here with respect to their taste!! Nonetheless, this is what we call them!

I prefer the sliders, presented here, but my sister likes to make them full size and serve them on a nice crusty kaiser bun....also YUMMMMY!!

Ingredients:



Burger Patties:
2 lbs Ground Chicken
3 cloves finely chopped garlic
10-12 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
2 eggs
1 cup finely ground soda crackers
2 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp white pepper
Salt & Black Pepper to taste

Toppings:
Grated Mozzarella Cheese
Carmelized Onions
Mayonnaise
Hot Dijon Mustard
*NOTE: The mustard can make or break the flavor combination. Our favorite brand is Kozlik's (hot garlic flavor), available at a variety of locations including St. Lawrence Market, The Village Grocer, Longos, and other fine food establishments.

24 Mini Hamburger Buns



1) Combine all ingredients listed for the patties well, by hand, and form into small flat patties

(it's best to flatten patties using a chopping motion with the side of your hand)

(patties shouldn't be much bigger then the palm of your hand)

2) Chop 3-4 onions. In a non stick covered sauce pan saute over med-high heat in butter with a little salt until golden brown (approx 15 minutes), set aside.



3) Grill patties on the BBQ until cooked (approx. 10-14 minutes, 5-7 minutes each side)




4) Remove patties from grill, placing them on a large cookie sheet



5) Sprinkle grated mozzarella over top of the patties and melt in oven (350F for 7-8 minutes)


6) Toast buns over grill



7) Assemble burgers with carmelized onions, mayonnaise, and mustard

8) Arrange on a serving platter



9) Serve and Enjoy!!
