To make Italian Meatball Sliders, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 8 slider buns
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese
To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked.
While the meatballs are cooking, heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and place them in the saucepan with the marinara sauce. Stir gently to coat the meatballs with the sauce.
To assemble the sliders, slice the slider buns in half and place a meatball on the bottom half of each bun. Top each meatball with a slice of mozzarella cheese, and place the top half of the bun on top.
Bake the sliders in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly toasted. Serve hot and enjoy!
