Ingredients
1 lb raw Italian sausage, removed from casings
¾ cup IPA beer, divided
½ tsp red pepper flakes
¼ tsp salt
2 Tbs olive oil
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp sriracha
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
8-10 dinner rolls, split
Green leaf lettuce
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the raw Italian sausage with 3 tablespoons of the IPA beer, red pepper flakes, and salt. Mix gently until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat. Form the mixture into 8 small patties, each about 2 inches wide and ½ inch tall.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the sausage patties in the pan and cook on the first side for about 2 minutes, until golden brown. Flip the patties carefully.
Pour the remaining ½ cup of IPA beer into the pan around the patties. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 6 more minutes, until the sausage patties are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
While the patties cook, whisk together the sour cream, chopped cilantro, and sriracha in a small bowl until well combined.
Toast the dinner rolls lightly if desired. Place one cooked sausage patty on each roll, then top with a generous dollop of the sriracha sour cream and a leaf or two of fresh green lettuce. Serve immediately.
Comments
This is a straightforward weeknight slider that hits every mark for the Charlotte market. Italian sausage and dinner rolls are staples at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart; the IPA beer is easy to source from any grocer's cooler; fresh cilantro and green leaf lettuce are reliably stocked year-round. The cost per serving lands around $2.00–$2.50, driven by the sausage and beer, which is reasonable for an eight-serving crowd dish. The stated 45 minutes is honest for browning sausage, building a quick sriracha cream, and assembling sliders—no hidden prep steps. The real caveat is cilantro: if your household or guests dislike it, omit it without penalty, but if anyone insists, a second stop at Harris Teeter's produce section is the only risk. These reheat well in a low oven or wrapped foil, making them ideal for a casual dinner or meal prep.
