These Thai Sloppy Joe Sliders offer a delicious twist on the classic American favorite with bold Asian-inspired flavors. Ground beef is cooked with savory garlic, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and a hint of sriracha, then piled onto sweet Hawaiian slider buns and topped with crunchy broccoli slaw, peanuts, and fresh green onions for a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 80/20
  • 2 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp. sriracha

Toppings and Bread

  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 8 sweet Hawaiian slider buns
  • 1 cup broccoli slaw
  • 1 tbsp. peanuts

Instructions

  1. Cook the beef: In a large skillet, add the ground beef and heat over medium heat. Cook the beef until it is well browned, about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the meat.
  2. Add flavorings and sauce: Stir in the minced garlic, sesame oil, ketchup, hoisin sauce, water, low sodium soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sriracha. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
  3. Simmer the mixture: Continue cooking the beef and sauce mixture until the sauce thickens and is well incorporated with the meat, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Prepare the buns: Toast the Hawaiian slider buns until lightly golden and warm.
  5. Assemble the sliders: Spoon the Thai sloppy joe mixture onto each toasted bun, then top with broccoli slaw, sliced green onions, and peanuts for added crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • If you prefer less spice, reduce the sriracha or omit it entirely.
  • Broccoli slaw can be substituted with shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix.
  • Peanuts can be omitted for a nut-free version or replaced with chopped cashews.
  • To save time, use pre-minced garlic or garlic powder if needed.
  • Serving these sliders with a side of fresh cucumber salad complements the flavors well.
