  • After 1 hour, take out all the chilies, onions, garlic and place into a blender with a ⅓ cup of that beef broth. Blend until it turns into a puree and pour this into the pot to simmer for another 1.5 hours until meat is tender.
  • Shred the meat and set aside.
  • Cut your sweet rolls in half, then assemble the sliders by adding our shredded meat, diced onions, and mozzarella cheese.
