Beef Short Rib Sliders With Chipotle Cream Sauce
We are a very busy family and our favorite time to reconnect is over dinner. One thing I don’t want to do during this precious time is listen to my kids complain about what I made for dinner. Feeding my family every day is not easy, but there is one meal that I made lately that they loved and asked for again and again. These Beef Short Rib Sliders with Chipotle Cream Sauce were delicious and so easy to make.
They were delicious because of the chipotle cream sauce and enchilado cheese. They were easy because there were not too many ingredients. And my kids loved them because they were cute sliders with a ton of flavor that I was able to make just the way they like. I could easily modify the sliders for each person. I made my husband’s slider on a gluten-free bun and my boys had their sliders on a wheat bun without the coleslaw. I had two sliders with everything on them and I wanted more.
This recipe calls for chipotle in adobo sauce. It comes in a can and goes a very long way. I used a tablespoon for this recipe, which was about one pepper with the adobo sauce. If you like your dishes spicier, add another pepper. The leftover sauce can be used for salads or over tacos. The extra sauce can be saved and used for tacos or salad dressing.
