Notes

Don't overbake the sliders. Adjust the spice level to your liking. Toast the buns for extra flavor. Make them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Serve with celery and carrot sticks with ranch or blue cheese dip, coleslaw, potato salad, mac and cheese, or sweet potato fries.
