Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef 80/20
- 24 oz. marinara sauce
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp. grated cheese
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. fried basil
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees
Preparing the Sliders:
- In a large mixing bowl add the ground beef, eggs, grated cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Mix everything well until a large ball is formed. Next, form palm size patties with the mixture (about 3 oz. a patty).
Cooking the Sliders:
- In a large oven safe skillet on high heat cook the patties on both sides until brown (about 2 minutes a side, 4 total minutes).
- Next, drain the grease from the skillet and then add the marinara sauce to the skillet.
- Place the skillet into the oven and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
Bringing it All Together:
- After 20 minutes, remove the skillet from the oven. Next, add a pinch of mozzarella cheese to each patty and place the skillet back into the oven.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and begins to golden, about 10 minutes.
To Serve:
- Place the sliders on crunchy Italian bread, or serve with a side of spaghetti.
Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
The ingredients for this recipe are very similar to my meatball recipe. The one difference is I like to use more herbs in this recipe. If you do not have marinara sauce on hand you can use diced tomatoes instead. If you do, I would add a few ounces of water to the skillet while the patties are baking.
When choosing the mozzarella cheese for this recipe I would ensure you pick a high quality cheese. Otherwise, the cheese may not melt evenly and it will be oily.
