Storage
Leftover sliders can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. I recommend that you store the meat and cream cheese mixture separately.
Slider patties can be reheated in the microwave or for a freshly made taste you can reheat them in a pan on medium heat on top of the stove with a little water or beef broth. The pan method prevents the burgers when drying out when reheated.
Expert Tips
Expert Tip: If you prefer a well-done slider, you can add an additional 3 to 5 minutes to the cook time.
