Meatball Parm Sliders Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Make the Meatballs

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the andouille sausage, ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Form into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

2. 2

   Cook the Meatballs

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned.

3. 3

   Prepare the Sliders

   While the meatballs are baking, prepare the garlic knots. If using store-bought, heat them according to package instructions. If making homemade, use your favorite garlic knot recipe.

4. 4

   Assemble the Sliders

   Once the meatballs are cooked, slice the garlic knots in half horizontally. Place 1-2 meatballs on the bottom half of each garlic knot, spoon marinara sauce over the meatballs, and top with a slice of fresh mozzarella.

5. 5

   Melt the Cheese

   Place the assembled sliders back in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, place the top half of the garlic knots on the sliders, and serve warm with extra marinara sauce on the side.
