Sliders are all the rage these days and my family is enjoying them, too. My kids are thrilled when I make these mini-burgers; they love anything that is pint-sized, down-sized, or kid-sized. The younger kids are so proud of themselves when they eat their whole cheeseburger. The older kids dive in for second-helpings. Love that!

I like to serve these with a wide variety of toppings. Some days we do traditional burgers with ketchup, mayo, mustard and lettuce, tomatoes, pickles. Other days we may add a dollop of guacamole and salsa. My husband prefers them with bacon and onions. Because of the variety of toppings we like to add, I keep the burgers themselves quite simple.

I used small slider rolls for these burgers, but you could also use slider buns. I didn't have slider buns on hand and instead of driving to town to buy buns, I decided to make these yummy rolls. I realize this makes no sense whatsoever. Sometimes I just do crazy things like make homemade rolls all the while knowing that I could make my life a whole lot simpler and actually purchase rolls or buns.

For the record, I usually make these rolls with whole wheat flour.

Unfortunately, my whole wheat flour was involved in a bit of a mishap.

A toddler-related mishap, to be specific.

That metal box is where I store my whole wheat flour. He lifted the entire box out of the open drawer behind him, sat it on the floor and climbed right in the middle of it. In typical toddler fashion, he accomplished all of this in the same amount of time it took me to wipe down the kitchen table.

Heaven help me when turns two; I can't imagine what he'll be like during the "terrible twos"!
