Time 40m

Yield 24 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chili sauce, such as Heinz
1/2 cup grape jelly
2 lbs ground beef
2/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
2/3 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12 slices provolone cheese, cut into 24 2-inch rounds
24 mini brioche buns
baby spinach leaves, for sliders

Steps:

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine chili sauce and grape jelly. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, and cook until sauce is glossy and thick, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, and Worcestershire sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Dampen hands and form mixture into 24 meatballs (they will be approximately the size of a golf ball). .
Transfer to a wire rack set over an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, spacing at least an inch apart, and brush with ½ Celsius sauce.
Bake until meatballs are browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with additional ½ Celsius sauce. .
Top each meatball with a piece of provolone cheese and allow to melt.
To assemble sliders, brush top and bottom of mini brioche buns lightly with sauce. Place a few baby spinach leaves on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a meatball, followed by the top half of the bun. Spear each slider with a toothpick, and serve immediately.
