NOTES:
*1 - I found the most delicious and flavourful roasted jalapeno salsa at the grocery store. If you can't find a similar salsa, consider looking for something that packs more of a punch than a traditional red salsa. Think something with chipotle or roasted peppers for a punch of flavour with every bite of your sliders. You could also omit this entirely.

DIRECTIONS

• Begin heating a medium sized skillet set to about medium heat. Add the Beyond beef and break it down in to smaller crumbles as it cooks. Make sure to flip and let it get nice and brown. (About 5 - 6ish) Remove the beef from the pan and add a Tbsp. or two of EVOO depending on how much grease was left behind form the beyond beef. Add the garlic & pepper flakes. Stir and let that sizzle for about 30 seconds before adding the onion, light portions of the green onion, celery, and bell pepper. Season with sea salt, stir, and cook 5ish minutes. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, & cumin, and continue to stir and cook another 2 minutes. Add the worc sauce & tom paste and stir until combined. Add the beyond beef back to the pan & pour in the PC beef broth. Reduce the heat to about medium low, add 1/4 tsp. sea salt, and simmer uncovered until liquid has reduced entirely. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Turn off the heat and now it's time to assemble.
• Preheat oven to 350 F
• Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in a baking dish large enough to accommodate them. Spoon the meaty filling evenly between the sliders. Sprinkle the monterey jack over the sliders and top each one with a good amount of thinly sliced red onions. Place into the oven to bake for 12 - 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and blistered. For the tops of the buns, place them face down on a baking sheet and bake them for the final 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the dark portions of the green onions along with fresh cilantro all over the melty sliders. Smear some chipotle mayo on the tops of each bun and place them on the sliders. 

• For service, spoon some of the roasted jalapeno salsa on every bite of your slider for the very best experience.
