Directions
In a large bowl, gently combine first 9 ingredients. Form into eight patties of equal thickness; refrigerate. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Add onions and mushrooms and sauteĢ 7-8 minutes. Add wine and cook down until almost evaporated. Remove pan from heat. Heat outdoor grill to high heat. For medium-rare burgers, grill meat for 2-3 minutes per side. Once meat is done, toast buns on grill 1 - 2 minutes. Assemble sliders and add mustard and arugula. Spoon mushroom mixture over each slider and top with blue cheese.
