Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork or turkey sausage
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 8 slider buns, soft and slightly sweet
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into small patties slightly smaller than your slider buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned and fully cooked. Avoid pressing down to keep them juicy.
  3. Glaze with Maple Syrup: Brush a generous layer of pure maple syrup on each side of the cooked patties and cook for an additional minute per side to caramelize the syrup and create a glossy coating.
  4. Toast the Buns: Spread softened butter on the insides of the slider buns and toast them on a griddle or skillet until golden brown and warm, adding crunch and flavor.
  5. Assemble the Sliders: Spread a little Dijon mustard or your preferred sauce on the buns, place the maple-glazed sausage patties on the bun bottoms, add cheese if using, then top with the slider buns. Serve immediately for the best taste.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the sausages to keep them moist and juicy.
  • Use real, pure maple syrup for authentic sweetness and flavor depth.
  • Allow patties to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
  • Soft, slightly sweet slider buns complement the maple flavor best.
  • Customize toppings with caramelized onions, pickles, or bacon for variety.
