Appetizer night part 3

         MEATBALL SLIDERS

       Ingredients:
1 lb 80/20 ground beef
2 pieces sliced white or wheat bread
Milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/8 cup grated parmesan cheese
1-1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
3 slices mozzarella cheese
12 fresh basil leaves
Spaghetti sauce ( can be store bought)
Slider buns or heat and serve dinner rolls

  Remove crust from bread. Tear bread into small pieces and place in a small bowl. Drizzle with milk in small increments,  lightly tossing until bread has absorbed all it can. Do not smash bread!

   In a large mixing bowl add ground beef, bread,eggs, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning,  onion powder, salt and pepper. Combine ingredients.




  Roll mixture into 1 inch balls. Place on foil covered cookie sheet, cook at 375 degrees for approximately 20 minutes. While meatballs cook, warm spaghetti sauce, cut sliced mozzarella in quarters, and split buns in half.

   Remove meatballs from oven, top each one with a slice of cheese and return to oven until cheese is melted.



  Place one meatball on a bun, top with a spoon of spaghetti sauce, a fresh basil leaf, and the top half of the bun.
                         Enjoy!
