How to Make Monster Meatball Sliders

Full directions on how to make these sliders is featured below. This is a quick walk through on how it is made. 

Step One: Start by adding the meatballs and sauce together in a pan. Heat on medium heat until the meatballs are nice and warm. If your meatballs are raw then cook fully. 

Step Two: Cut the cheese into triangles to look like monster teeth. 

Step Three: Place meatball on a slider bun, and add teeth in front on meatball. 

Step Four: Use toothpicks (be watchful with small children and toothpicks) to add olives on for eyes, and poke into the top of the bun. 

Step Five: Serve and enjoy. 

Storing Leftovers 

If you happen to not eat all your sliders I recommend that you store them in an airtight container in the fridge. If you don’t assemble all the sliders right away you can store the meatballs separately in a container. Then assemble before you serve. 

Variations To Recipe 

• Use any flavor or style of meatballs you want. Chicken meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, etc. 
• Use marinara sauce instead of a spaghetti sauce. 
• Swap the spaghetti sauce with a BBQ sauce to make these a BBQ meatball slider recipe. 
• Use any flavor of olives for the eyes. 

Common Questions 

Can I change up what I use for filling in sliders? 

Of course. You can even do a simple ham and cheese slider if you want, and still decorate it like a monster. Or do roast beef and cheddar. Have fun and do your favorite sandwich fillers.

Can I make these sliders in advance? 

The sauce will make the buns a bit soggy so it is recommended to make them right before you go to serve them. Otherwise, it can leave your buns able to fall apart.
