You don’t need to be at the game—or even outdoors—to enjoy great tailgating fare. These mini burgers come together quickly in a pan on the stove, with the beef, cheese and onion all cooked in one stack. With chipotle mayo as the finishing touch, these spicy sliders will enliven any game-day gathering.
