Former NY Giants Rashad Jennings' Shares Recipe for His Famous Sliders

Step 1

For the caramelized onions, grab a large skillet (cast iron or stainless steel works best), place over high heat and add the butter and oil

Step 2

Once the butter is melted, stir in the salt and sugar, then add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes

Step 3

Add 1 tablespoon of the beer to deglaze the pan

Step 4

Give the onions a stir to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until deep golden brown

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of beer and stir until it's almost evaporated

Step 6

Set aside

Step 7

For the slaw, in a medium bowl, add the cabbage, carrots, apple, sesame oil, honey and vinegar

Step 8

Season with salt and pepper and stir until thoroughly combined

Step 9

Set aside

Step 10

For the burger patties, in a large bowl, add the beef and Worcestershire sauce, season with salt and pepper and mix with your hands

Step 11

Create 6 balls from the meat, then flatten the balls into patties using your palm and keeping the edges thicker than the middle

Step 12

That will help ensure the patties stay flat during cooking

Step 13

Grab a large skillet and heat over medium-high

Step 14

Spray with a little nonstick spray, then add the patties (in batches, if needed; you don't want to crowd the pan) and cook until the edges are crisp, about 3 minutes

Step 15

Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes

Step 16

Meanwhile, preheat the broiler

Step 17

To assemble the sliders, place the buns on a sheet pan cut-side up and broil until lightly toasted

Step 18

Place a patty on the bottom half of each bun, top with caramelized onions, ½  piece of bacon and slaw

Step 19

Smear some fig jam on the top buns, place them on top of the sliders and serve immediately
