• Ingredients
• 1 pound ground beef
• Salt and pepper
• 3 tablespoons grated onion (from 1/2 small onion)
• 1/2 pound corned beef, chopped
• 3 tablespoons grainy mustard
• Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) or vegetable oil, for drizzling
• 4 baby Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch dice
• 1 pound sack sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup lager beer
• 12 slices Swiss cheese
• 12 slider rolls or party-size rye bread slices, toasted
• 2 tablespoons dill relish
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

PreparationIn a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper and grated onion. Place the corned beef in a food processor and pulse to grind it up. Add the corned beef to the ground beef along with the mustard and mix well with your hands. Form 12 small 3-inch patties and coat them lightly with a drizzle of oil.

Wash your hands after handling the raw meat.

Meanwhile, heat a liberal drizzle of EVOO or vegetable oil in a medium size skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook for 5-6 minutes. Add the sauerkraut and stir. Add the beer and simmer for 5 minutes more.

Heat a large skillet or griddle pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3 minutes on each side. Cut or fold the Swiss cheese slices to fit the burgers and melt over the burgers under a foil tent.

Pile the patties on slider rolls and top with the potato-kraut.

In a small bowl, stir together the relish, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and sour cream. Dollop a generous spoonful of sauce on each slider, then set the bun tops or toasts on top.
