Mini Meatball Parms
They may be mini, but they're a major crowd pleaser.
Recipe type: Main
Ingredients
- 12 Slider buns
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 c. freshly grated Parmesan, divided
- ½ c. bread crumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley (plus more for garnish)
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 c. marinara
- 2 c. shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° and place buns in a small baking pan. Using a paring knife, cut wells out of slider buns.
- Brush the insides of the bread with olive oil, then sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder into each well. Bake until bread starts to turn golden, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make meatballs: In a large bowl, combine beef, ½ cup Parmesan, bread crumbs, garlic, egg, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, then mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Roll into golf ball-sized balls.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, pour enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, add meatballs in a single layer and sear on all sides, until a nice crust forms, about 2 minutes per side. Pour marinara around the meatballs and reduce heat to medium. Cover skillet with a tight-fitting lid and simmer until meatballs are mostly cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Spoon a meatball into each slider bun. Sprinkle all over with mozzarella and Parmesan, and bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.
- Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
