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.

Valuable Tips When Making Appetizer Essentials Dinner Roll Meatballs Recipes

Are you planning a party or a family gathering and you want to impress your guests with your culinary skills? One of the best appetizers to serve at any event is meatballs! But not just any meatballs, dinner roll meatballs! Using dinner rolls to make meatballs is a great way to create a unique and delicious appetizer that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. Here are some valuable tips when making appetizer essentials dinner roll meatballs recipes.
1. Choose the Right Type of Dinner Rolls
The first thing you need to consider when making dinner roll meatballs is the type of dinner rolls you will use. It is important to choose a dinner roll that is fluffy, soft and not too dense. This will ensure that the meatball is tender and moist. You can use store-bought dinner rolls, or you can make your own. Whichever you choose, make sure they are fresh and not stale.
2. Use Lean Meat
When making meatballs, it is important to use lean meat. Ground beef, turkey or chicken are great options. Using lean meat will prevent the meatballs from becoming too greasy and heavy. You can also mix different types of meat for a unique flavor, like beef and pork, or turkey and chicken.
3. Don’t Overwork the Meat
When mixing the meat with other ingredients, it is important not to overwork the meat. Overworking the meat can make it tough, resulting in dry and hard meatballs. Mix the ingredients until just combined, and then stop. If you are using a stand mixer, mix the ingredients at low speed for a short amount of time.
4. Use a Variety of Ingredients to Add Flavor
One of the great things about making dinner roll meatballs is that you can add a variety of ingredients to the meat mixture to add flavor. Some great options are garlic, onions, herbs, and spices. You can also add shredded cheese to the meat mixture for a cheesy center in the meatball.
5. Make Perfectly Sized Meatballs
To ensure that your dinner roll meatballs cook evenly and are perfectly sized, use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop the mixture. Roll the mixture into balls that are about 1 inch in diameter. If you want larger meatballs, adjust the size accordingly.
6. Preheat Your Oven
Before baking the meatballs, make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature. This will ensure that the meatballs cook evenly and thoroughly. Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent the meatballs from sticking.
7. Add a Glaze or Sauce
To add even more flavor to your dinner roll meatballs, consider adding a glaze or sauce. BBQ sauce is a great option, but you could also use sweet and sour sauce, teriyaki sauce or marinara sauce. Brush the sauce or glaze onto the meatballs before baking, or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
8. Garnish for Presentation
After baking the meatballs, consider garnishing them for presentation. You can top the meatballs with chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro, or add a sprinkle of grated cheese over the top. Serve the meatballs hot and enjoy your delicious appetizer! In conclusion, dinner roll meatballs are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The key to making the perfect meatballs is to use the right ingredients, avoid overworking the meat, and add a variety of flavors to enhance the taste. With these valuable tips, you can make a mouth-watering appetizer that will impress your guests and have them coming back for more!
