Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 40 servings Stuffed Jalapenos: 1 tablespoon olive oil ½ small onion, diced ¼ pound extra-lean ground beef 2 tablespoons water 1 ½ teaspoons taco seasoning ½ cup grated Chihuahua cheese 5 large jalapeno peppers Tiny Burger Buns: ¼ cup lukewarm water 2 tablespoons white sugar 2 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 2 small eggs, beaten, divided 2 tablespoons milk 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 40 toothpicks Directions Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Add beef; cook, stirring to break into very small pieces, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Stir in 2 tablespoons water and taco seasoning; cook until water evaporates, about 5 minutes. Let beef mixture cool completely, about 10 minutes. Stir in Chihuahua cheese. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut tops off jalapeno peppers and scoop out seeds and ribs. Stuff with beef mixture, using the thick end of a chopstick to pack in mixture. Stack upright against the edge of a casserole dish. Bake in the preheated oven until jalapeno peppers are soft, about 45 minutes. Refrigerate jalapeno peppers until stuffing firms up, 1 to 2 hours. Combine 1/4 cup water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Combine flour, 1 egg, milk, and butter in a large bowl. Pour in yeast mixture; mix until well combined. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until mostly smooth but slightly sticky, about 5 minutes. Form dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise, about 20 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; push down to knock out air. Form into 1-inch buns and arrange 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Cover with the towel and let rise until puffy, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush tops of buns with beaten egg. Bake buns in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Slice cold jalapeno peppers into 1/4-inch thick rings. Cut buns in half. Sandwich jalapeno pepper rings in the buns and secure with a toothpick. Arrange sliders in a casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake sliders in the preheated oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Cook's Notes: I use a homemade taco seasoning mix from this site, but you can use a packaged mix. Top buns with poppy or sesame seeds before baking if desired.
