Game Day Sausage Sliders

What’s a more classic Game Day snack than sliders? We teamed up with Michael Varga (@vargacooks) to make the ultimate Game Day Sliders, but with a twist; they’re made with Kolbassa Sausage! 

Prep: 45 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Serves: 8-10

Ingrédients

  • 1 Grimm’s Kolbassa Sausage 
  • Slider buns
  • 4 medium yellow onions
  • 4 mixed peppers
  • 2 jalapeño (optional for a kick)
  • Jalapeño cheese sauce or smoked cheddar (if you love cheese, add both!)

Cheese Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp of butter and flour
  • 1/2 jalapeño diced with seeds taken out
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1.5 – 2 cups of your favourite shredded cheese (old cheddar would be great)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice and sauté the peppers and onions in a pan with a little oil and a pad of butter. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Cook the onions & peppers until soft (approximately 10-12 minutes).
  2. Add in the Kolbassa Sausage and smoked cheddar. Continue to cook until the sausage is cooked through and the cheese is melted (approximately 5 minutes).
  3. Slightly toast the buns.
  4. Build the sliders and drizzle with cheese sauce.

Cheese Sauce: 

  1. Melt butter in a sauce pan on medium heat with the diced jalapeño until the butter is melted and jalapeño is slightly cooked.
  2. Add in flour and mix until it forms a smooth paste.
  3. Stir in milk and incorporate. Stir until mixture thickens up (about 5 minutes).
  4. Stir in shredded cheese and mix until smooth.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Optional: For a kick, you can add spices to the flour/butter mixture (e.g., smoked paprika, Cajun spice, etc.).
