How to make Chilli’s Big Mouth Bites Recipe?
Prepare the Topping
- Put the pickled jalapenos and ranch dressing in a blender. Blend everything until the dressing is silky. The longer it chills in the fridge, the more flavorful it becomes. Prep it a few hours ahead and put it in the fridge while making the sliders.
- Slice the cheddar cheese in half lengthwise.
- Brown and fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Use paper towels for disposal. Slice the bacon into thirds after it has cooled.
- Drop the bacon oil in the pan, to 1 tablespoon. Sauté the onion dice until soft and add them to the pan. Take out of the frying pan.
Slider Patties
- Put the ground beef in a big bowl and prepare the patties. Just before consumption, sprinkle the garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Mold the ground meat into 12 individual patties.
- Cook the bacon fat in a pan over medium heat. Place the hamburger patties in the pan and cook on each side for 3 to 4 minutes, rotating once.
Assemble
- Split the slider buns and brush each with melted butter while the burgers cook. Toast in the oven under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, cut side up.
- Take the baked buns out of the oven and slather them on both sides with the jalapeño ranch dressing.
- Put some cooked onions on the bottom of each bun.
- Cook two pieces of bacon and place one on each bottom bun.
- Put a patty in a slider bun and a slice of cheese on top of it. Cover the sliders with the top buns.
- Have fun eating!
Additional Pro Tips for Big Mouth Bites Slider
Melting Cheese: To achieve gooey cheese, place a slice of cheese on each patty while hot off the grill or stovetop. Cover the patties with a lid or aluminum foil to trap the heat and melt the cheese.
Bacon Bliss: For crispy bacon, cook it in a separate pan until it’s golden and crunchy. Blot excess oil with paper towels before adding it to the sliders.
Toasted Buns: Lightly toast the buns on a grill or in the oven to add a crispy crunch and prevent them from getting soggy.
Experiment with Cheese: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, like cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss, to add variety and new flavor dimensions.
Faqs for Chilli’s Big Mouth Bites Copycat Recipe
Can I use a different type of meat for the patties?
Absolutely! While the original recipe calls for beef patties, you can easily swap it with ground chicken, turkey, or plant-based alternatives for a different twist.
How can I make the jalapeno ranch dressing less spicy?
You can deseed the jalapenos before adding them to the ranch dressing or use fewer jalapenos to reduce the spiciness. Mix some sour cream or Greek yogurt to mellow out the heat.
What other toppings can I add to the sliders?
Chilli’s Big Mouth Bites are versatile, and you can get creative with toppings. Some popular choices include caramelized onions, sliced avocado, mushrooms, or even a fried egg for an extra indulgence.
Can I freeze the sliders for later?
While enjoying them fresh is best; you can freeze the cooked sliders individually. Wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag for 2-3 months.
