Time 30m

Yield 6 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup toasted almonds or walnuts
2 cloves garlic
1 cup panko breadcrumbs or matzo meal
1 cup shredded Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons dried parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
3 1/2 cups (28 ounces) tomato sauce of your choice
Flavorless oil, like canola or vegetable, for frying
12 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 bunch fresh basil leaves
6 slider rolls, toasted
Chopped fresh parsley or basil, for serving

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.

I thought these sliders were just okay. The meatballs were a bit bland and the sauce was too sweet for my taste.

The meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different meatball recipe next time.

These sliders were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I love these meatball sliders! They're so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I usually double the recipe because they go so fast.

These sliders were easy to make and turned out great! The meatballs were moist and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I used a store-bought slider bun, which made the recipe even easier.

These meatball sliders were a hit at my party! The meatballs were juicy and flavorful, and the sauce was tangy and sweet. The slider buns were soft and fluffy, and they held up well to the meatballs and sauce. I will definitely be making these again!
