Italian Sliders

_DSC0022_edited-1

I was making Italian meatballs the other night and decided on forming them into mini-burgers or “Sliders” instead.  Very good choice!

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds ground meat
  • 5 ounces freshly shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 16 dinner rolls

Throw everything into a large bowl and stick your hands in there and mix ‘er up.

Form these into large meatballs. I tried to make 16 but some of mine got bigger so only 14 here.

Now take each ball and squish it down to a patty.

Place these little patties on a broiler pan so that the fat falls to the pan below.  Stick this into a preheated 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.

I like a little mayonnaise on my bun and then some extra parmesan cheese on the meat.  Maranara sauce would also be pretty awesome on this too.
