Southwest Sliders

We love sliders.  I make a lot of mexican so this combines two of our favs... mexican & sliders.  I've made these twice & they were good.  Enjoy :)

Southwest Sliders
1 lb ground beef (you could use ground turkey or chicken too)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 stalks green onion, sliced (green part only)
1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
small rolls of your choice, sliced crosswise (I prefer King's Hawaiian Bread rolls)
In a large bowl, combine all spices together.  Add the ground beef, green onion and cheese into the bowl and gingerly mix in, making sure you don't overwork the beef.   Form large meatballs of the beef mixture to create slider beef patties.  Place the patties on a hot grill, grill pan or griddle. If using a grill pan, place a grill press over the patties. Allow the patties to cook thoroughly on one side before flipping.  When patties are fully cooked (roughly 10 -12 minutes), place the patties inside each sliced roll.
Serve with your preferred toppings and condiments.  
 
I made a hot sauce mayo with ours.  I rarely measure anything but I added about 1/2 cup mayo & a tablespoon or so of hot sauce and mixed.
