SUNNY'S EASY AND CHEESY STUFFED SLIDER BAKE-TWO WAYS



Sunny's Easy and Cheesy Stuffed Slider Bake-Two Ways image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 24 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 9

24 savory or sweet dinner rolls, attached at the hip!
1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 1/2 to 2 cups wing sauce
1 1/4 cups shredded Italian cheese blend
1 cup marinara sauce
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella
12 frozen meatballs, defrosted
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (the sandy kind in a canister)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven or a grill for indirect cooking to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare the rolls: Place the rolls on a nonstick-foil-lined baking sheet. With a serrated paring knife, carve out a circle on the top of each, cutting down about 1 inch deep. (You need to keep the bottom sturdy, so you don't want to cut all the way to the bottom. Get your fingers in there and pull out the plug of bread, leaving room for your filling. Save the excess bread for breadcrumbs!)
  • For the buffalo chicken sliders: Mix the chicken, blue cheese, 1 1/2 cups wing sauce or to taste and 1/2 cup of the shredded Italian cheese blend in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • For the Italian meatball sub sliders: Assemble 12 sliders by spooning into the cavity of each: 1 tablespoon marinara sauce followed by 1 tablespoon mozzarella, then a meatball, then a teaspoon of marinara. Sprinkle the tops of the meatball sliders with the Parmesan.
  • For the buffalo chicken sliders: Assemble the remaining 12 sliders by stuffing 2 to 3 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture into each cavity. Top with the remaining shredded Italian cheese blend.
  • Bake the sliders in the oven or over indirect heat until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden, about 25 minutes.

CHEESE-STUFFED MEATBALLS



Cheese-Stuffed Meatballs image

I am eating this as I write - it's a recipe I got from the Williams-Sonoma catalog. They came out just delicious and the extra meatballs will be my lunch and dinner this week. One caveat - seal the cheese in the meatballs securely, or it will melt out when simmering in the sauce. It was a bit tedious to make, but not difficult. There are quite a few steps. The sauce was a bit of a pain for me to make (didn't have a tomato press), so I used premade. But I think this is the way I'll make my meatballs from now on!

MEATBALL-STUFFED GARLIC BREAD SLIDERS



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.
