Sloppy joe sliders

Heat olive oil in a medium saute pan on high heat and add the ground beef.

Break the meat into small chunks and crisp it up, about five to six minutes.

Add the chopped onion, sliced pepperoncinis and chopped garlic and cook three to four minutes more on medium heat.

Add the tomato puree, a good scoop of tomato paste and ketchup; cook 10 to 15 minutes until sweet and sticky, then take off the heat.

Heat olive oil or butter in a small saute pan over medium-high heat and crisp the slider buns until golden brown, so they do not go soggy under the wet mixture.

Set the buns on a small baking tray, top half of them with the sloppy joe mixture, and top all of them with cheddar cheese.

Bake in a 400 degree oven five to six minutes until the cheese melts.

Top with a few homemade pickles, cap with the other half of the bun, and skewer with toothpicks if wanted.
