Meatball-Stuffed Garlic Bread Sliders image

We're getting close to the Super Bowl, and it's not about who wins the trophy, but rather who wins the snack table. If you show up with these super fun sliders, that will be you. The real secret to these beauties is placing the meatball in through the top of the roll, versus splitting and stuffing in the traditional manner. Maybe it's the symmetry, or center of gravity, that makes these just feel right in your hand. If you're short on time, using pre-made meatballs will do.

Time 1h10m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 yellow onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced, divided
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, plus more for garnish
1 large egg
¼ cup plain bread crumbs
1 cup shredded fontina cheese, divided
2 teaspoons kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
18 dinner rolls
2 cups spicy tomato sauce
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and 2 cloves garlic; cook and stir until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Place beef in a large bowl. Add onion-garlic mixture, parsley, egg, bread crumbs, and 1 large handful of fontina cheese, reserving the rest for topping. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Mix by hand until just combined. Scoop meat mixture into 24 mini muffin cups; meatballs need not be perfectly round.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, about 12 minutes. Leave oven on. Let meatballs cool briefly while you make the garlic butter.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining minced garlic once butter starts to bubble; stir, then immediately remove from heat. Stir well and set aside.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; coat foil with remaining olive oil. Transfer rolls, still attached, to the baking sheet. Cut a hole in the top of each roll, about 2/3 of the way down. Brush garlic butter over the insides and outsides of the rolls.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Pour about 1 tablespoon tomato sauce into each hole. Stuff meatballs into the holes. Top each roll with a spoonful of tomato sauce and remaining fontina cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Continue baking until cheese is melted, 12 to 15 minutes. Garnish with more parsley. Let rolls sit for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up; transfer to a serving platter.

Garlic Bread Meatball Sliders Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: ground beef, egg, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, grated parmesan cheese, fresh basil, canola oil, marinara sauce, dinner roll, mozzarella cheese, unsalted butter, garlic, fresh basil, grated parmesan cheese

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb ground beef
1 egg
½ tablespoon kosher salt
½ tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 tablespoon garlic powder
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup marinara sauce
1 pack dinner roll, 12 rolls left intact, not pulled apart
6 slices mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F (180°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, parmesan, and chopped basil until thoroughly mixed.
  • Take a golf ball-sized amount of the beef mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the beef mixture, setting the meatballs aside on a plate.
  • Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Sear meatballs on one side for about one to two minutes, then flip. Cook for another one to two minutes, then remove the meatballs from the pan and drain any excess fat.
  • Pour the marinara sauce into the pan and place the meatballs in the sauce. Cook for about eight to 10 minutes, flipping the meatballs in the sauce until the sauce has reduced to a thick consistency. Remove from heat.
  • Cut the 4×3 sheet of dinner rolls in half lengthwise. Arrange the bottom half into a 9×13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan.
  • Place the meatballs evenly in a 4×3 grid, putting one on each roll. Layer the mozzarella evenly on top. Cover with the top half of the dinner rolls.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, basil, and parmesan, stirring until evenly mixed. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the top of the sliders.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and cheese is melted.
  • Cut into individual sandwiches, and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for the meatballs. This will give them a more flavorful and juicy texture.
  • Be sure to season the meatballs well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help them to develop a nice crust when they are cooked.
  • Use a good quality mozzarella cheese for the meatballs. This will help them to melt and become gooey.
  • To make the garlic bread, use a baguette that is at least 12 inches long. This will give you enough room to spread the butter and garlic mixture evenly.
  • Be sure to toast the garlic bread until it is golden brown and crispy. This will help it to hold up to the meatballs and sauce.
  • If you don't have any marinara sauce, you can use a jar of spaghetti sauce instead.
  • Serve the meatballs and garlic bread sliders with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing.
