Ingredients

• 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
• 1/4 cup onion (grated)
• 2 cloves garlic (grated)
• 1/3 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1/3 Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the onion, garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, eggs, milk, red pepper, flakes, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly before adding the meat.

2. 2

   Then add the meat to the breadcrumb mixture.

3. 3

   Form the meatballs, using the size of your dinner rolls as a guide. I made mine a little bigger than a golf ball.

4. 4

   Broil the meatballs at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until they're golden brown, flipping them once during cooking.

5. 5

   While the meatballs cook, heat up the marinara sauce in a saucepan on medium heat.

6. 6

   After the meatballs are browned, remove them from the oven and place them into the hot marinara sauce.

7. 7

   Lower the heat and simmer the meatballs for another 15 minutes.

8. 8

   Toast the slider buns until they're slightly golden, then place the bun bottoms onto a baking sheet.

9. 9

   Place a meatball onto each bun, and top each meatball with a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.

10. 10

    Broil the meatballs at 400 degrees F for 3-5 minutes, just until the cheese is melted.

11. 11

    Place a bun top onto each slider, then serve.
