Ingredients
- 1¼ lb 90% lean ground beef
- 6 oz mushrooms
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1½ lb carrots
- 8 count slider buns
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 bunch fresh parsley
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut carrots into 1/2-inch pieces, toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons honey, salt, and pepper, spread on a sheet pan, and roast 18–20 minutes until caramelized and fork-tender.
- While carrots roast, finely chop mushrooms and cook in 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until soft, then set aside.
- Form ground beef into 8 small patties (2–3 oz each) and cook in the same skillet over medium-high heat in 2 batches, 4–5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through (160°F internal temp). Return all patties to the skillet, stir in cooked mushrooms and 1/2 cup sour cream, and simmer 1 minute.
- Toast slider buns if desired, build sliders by placing one patty and mushroom-sour cream mixture in each bun, top with half the chopped parsley, and serve with roasted carrots sprinkled with the rest.
- Picky eater tip: set aside a plain patty before adding the sauce and serve it on a bun with carrots.
- Make ahead: chop the mushrooms and carrots and form the patties up to a day ahead; keep covered in the fridge.
On the side: Garlicky green beans (10 min)
12 oz green beans
- Trim the green beans. Cook in a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, until bright and just tender.
- Stir in a minced garlic clove for the last minute and season with salt.
