Prep: 30 min
Cook: 20 min
Yield: 24 sliders

Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds ground beef (preferably chuck)
  2. 1/2 cup panko or other breadcrumbs
  3. 1/2 cup whole milk
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  6. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  7. 1/2 onion, diced
  8. 1 24-ounce jar marinara sauce
  9. 24 dinner rolls
  10. 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine the beef, breadcrumbs, milk, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl and knead the mixture together with your hands. Roll into heaping-tablespoon-size balls.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes; remove to a plate. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning, until browned all over, about 1 minute. (You might have to do this in 2 batches.)
  3. Pour in the marinara sauce and return the onion to the skillet; gently stir. Cover and simmer 20 minutes.
  4. When ready to serve, split the dinner rolls and sprinkle some mozzarella on the bottom rolls. Top each with a meatball, some sauce and more mozzarella and sandwich with the top rolls.

Very tasty! Everyone loved them – adults and kids! I didn’t have an onion and it was still very flavorful.
