9) Buffalo Chicken Sliders with blue cheese

Buffalo Chicken Sliders with blue cheese bring a spicy kick and a tangy bite. They’re perfect for game day or just a laid-back dinner.

I like to use shredded cooked chicken and toss it in buffalo sauce. Then I pile on some creamy blue cheese for a sharp, cool contrast.

A crunchy slaw—either coleslaw mix or chopped celery—adds some much-needed freshness. That blue cheese really cuts through the heat from the wing sauce.

10) Veggie Sliders with black bean patties

Veggie sliders with black bean patties are actually pretty satisfying and not hard to throw together. The black beans make the patties hearty and give a nice bite.

I usually mix in onions, corn, and some spices to build up the flavor. If you want to get creative, add mashed sweet potatoes or mushrooms to make the patties softer and richer.

These sliders are solid for a quick meal or party snack. They’re also a friendly vegan option—nobody’s missing out.

Serve them on mini buns. I like to pile on lettuce, tomato, or even a spoonful of vegan mayo.

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• ½ cup corn (optional)
• ¾ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 cup cooked sweet potato or mushrooms, mashed (optional)

• Mini burger buns

4. Shape the mixture into little patties that fit your buns. Go for whatever size feels right.

5. Set the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. Bake them for 20-25 minutes. Flip each patty halfway through so both sides get a nice, light brown color.

7. Stack the patties on mini buns and pile on your favorite toppings.
