Substitutions: For a lighter option, you can use ground turkey instead of beef. If you’re gluten-free, opt for gluten-free breadcrumbs and buns.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned.
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare the garlic Parmesan butter by mixing melted butter with parsley and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Once the meatballs are done, place them in the slider buns and generously brush the tops with the garlic Parmesan butter.
- Return the assembled sliders to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
