MEATBALL-STUFFED GARLIC BREAD SLIDERS
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.

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.

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.
