MEATBALL SLIDERS WITH A TWIST

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the nuts and garlic and pulse to a coarse crumb. Add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, salt and a few turns of pepper and pulse to combine. Add the eggs and process until the mixture holds together in a ball. Roll 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls, packing just firmly enough so they hold together but not so much that they toughen. Put the balls on a plate or sheet of parchment paper.
• Warm the tomato sauce in a large pot over medium heat.
• Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the balls in batches, turning until they're golden brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternatively, you can deep fry the suckers if that's what you're into.) Add the balls to the tomato sauce.
• Put 1 slice of mozzarella, 2 balls and 1 basil leaf on the bottom of each roll. Top with the top of the slider bun and serve with additional marinara sauce and chopped parsley or basil on the side.

MEATBALL-STUFFED GARLIC BREAD SLIDERS

• 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.

SWEDISH MEATBALL SLIDERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the sliders: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, bread crumbs, allspice, nutmeg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion, and ¼ cup (10 g) parsley and mix until fully combined.
• Roll the ground meat mixture into 2½-inch-wide meatballs. You should have 16-18 meatballs total.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the meatballs until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the meatballs to a plate as they finish cooking and set aside.
• Make the mushroom sauce: Wipe out any excess oil from the skillet, then return to medium-low heat. Add the butter. Once melted, add the mushrooms and cook until softened and crispy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the flour and cook, stirring, until light beige in color, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the Swanson® Beef Stock and Campbell's® Cream of Mushroom Soup until smooth. Stir in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice.
• Add the meatballs, turning to coat in the sauce. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
• Assemble the sliders: Dollop about 1½ teaspoons of cranberry sauce onto the bottom half of each slider bun, then scoop a meatball and a tablespoon of mushroom sauce on top. Garnish with the remaining ¼ cup parsley. Place the top halves of the slider buns on top and secure each slider with a toothpick.
• Serve warm.
• Enjoy!
