How to cook deliciously - Mini Meatball Parms

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 400° and place buns in a small baking pan. Using a paring knife, cut wells out of slider buns.

2. Stage

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.

3. Stage

Meanwhile, make meatballs: In a large bowl, combine beef, 1/2 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.

4. Stage

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.

5. Stage

Spoon a meatball into each slider bun. Sprinkle all over with mozzarella and Parmesan, and bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.

6. Stage

Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
