They’re spicy, cheesy, juicy, and dangerously easy to pop back. These sliders are the MVP of any tailgate — and they hold up great on the grill or a cast-iron skillet.

🧂 Ingredients:

• 1 lb spicy pork sausage (or regular with a pinch of red pepper flakes)

• 12 slider buns (King’s Hawaiian if you want to get serious)

• 1 cup homemade or store-bought pimento cheese

• 2 tbsp butter, melted

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 12 dill pickle chips (optional but encouraged)

• Toothpicks & napkins — things might get messy

🍳 Directions:

1. Form sausage patties just a bit wider than your buns — they’ll shrink as they cook. You want about 2 oz per patty.

2. Heat your grill or cast-iron over medium heat and cook patties ~3-4 mins per side, until golden and cooked through.

3. Toast your buns cut-side down for 1–2 minutes, then brush with melted butter mixed with garlic powder.

4. Assemble: Bottom bun → sausage patty → spoonful of pimento cheese → pickle chip → top bun.

5. Secure with a toothpick and serve hot — maybe chase it with a cold one.
