Want to offer something new and delicious this year for your football party buffet? Try sliders served on cocktail-sized flatbread.
 
Your guests will sink their teeth into these delicious mini burgers, which are the perfect size for snacking. Here’s how to make easy sliders on mini Cocktail Flatbread. (Recipes and ideas courtesy of Kontos Foods, a Paterson, NJ provider of traditional Mediterranean foods.)

• Using any preferred ground beef, make patties approximately 2” in diameter. Season and grill to taste.
• Melt your favorite cheese – American, cheddar or Swiss – on top of burger.
• Place cooked burger between two pieces of Kontos Foods’ Cocktail Flatbread. (Note: Cut 2” diameter pieces from regular Kontos Flatbread if you don’t have Cocktail Flatbreads.)
• Top with relish, ketchup, etc., as desired.

 

 “A huge part of the fun of football parties is the food, and these sliders provide a great complement to the usual fare of nachos, veggie dips and other appetizers,” said Steve Kontos, vice president of Kontos Foods. “In a burger, very often the type of bread makes the meal. Guests will love the delicious taste of Kontos Foods’ Cocktail Flatbread, which are made with wholesome ingredients and hand-stretched for the perfect consistency and fluffiness.”
