If you’d rather cook these sliders in a pan, you totally can and they cook up fast. I actually just bought these new space saver calphlon pans I love. They all stack in the cabinet!
I bought the 10 piece set cause my pans were all shot to heck, but if you just have a few turkey burgers they have a 3 piece cookware set too that would cover you for many meals.
I was a little hesitant to buy these new pans. What if I didn’t like them? They are a bit heavy compared to my other old cookware. I stuck my old pans in the garage just in case. I’m so glad I bought them! I’ve not gone out to the garage once for the old pans! I’m cooking all my sliders in these pans when it’s not grilling season.
For the best healthy nachos recipe, make these cheesy cauliflower nachos with ground turkey taco meat from Wholesome Yum! They are so easy to make, with just 15 minutes prep and simple, common ingredients.
