Crumble the bacon, pork and beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 2-in. meatballs., Place in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan.

Layer each roll bottom with salad greens, a tomato slice and a meatball; replace tops.

MINI MEATBALL SLIDERS

Steps:

• Combine the beef, breadcrumbs, milk, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl and knead the mixture together with your hands. Roll into heaping-tablespoon-size balls.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes; remove to a plate. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning, until browned all over, about 1 minute. (You might have to do this in 2 batches.)
• Pour in the marinara sauce and return the onion to the skillet; gently stir. Cover and simmer 20 minutes.
• When ready to serve, split the dinner rolls and sprinkle some mozzarella on the bottom rolls. Top each with a meatball, some sauce and more mozzarella and sandwich with the top rolls.

MINI MEATBALL SLIDERS FOR A PARTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the beef and pork in a mixing bowl. Add the egg, breadcrumbs, pesto, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and half the Parmesan. Gently mix together to incorporate. Scoop out 24 heaping tablespoons meatball mix (each just shy of 1 1/2 tablespoons). Roll the mounds into round meatballs between your palms.
• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Carefully add the meatballs to the skillet and fry until crispy and brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and discard any remaining oil.
• Halve the potato buns horizontally without separating the buns from each other. Put the bottom buns on the prepared baking sheet and spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce on top. Line up the meatballs on top of the sauce, so that each bun will have its own meatball. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the meatballs. Sprinkle with the basil. Lay the sliced provolone evenly over the meatballs. Place the top buns over the cheese.
• Mix the melted butter and the garlic salt together. Generously brush over the top buns. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan evenly over the butter mixture.
• Bake until the provolone melts and the topping turns golden brown, about 15 minutes. Slice into individual sliders and serve immediately.

PULL-APART MEATBALL SLIDERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, and fry the meatballs for about 8-10 mins, or until browned and cooked through. Set aside. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Carefully split the whole batch of rolls through the middle, ensuring they remain attached at their sides. Lay the bottoms of the rolls in a roasting tin lined with a sheet of scrunched-up baking parchment or foil. Spread the tomato sauce over, then place one meatball on every roll. Sprinkle over the mozzarella, then cover with the tops of the rolls, pressing down gently.
• Brush with the melted butter, then sprinkle over the oregano and parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 20 mins, uncovering for the final 5 mins so the tops become golden.

MEATLESS MEATBALL SLIDERS

Steps:

• Combine the nuts and garlic in a food processor and pulse to a coarse crumb. Add the panko, Parmesan, parsley, a big pinch of salt and a few turns of pepper and pulse to combine. Add the eggs and process until the mixture holds together in a ball. Roll the mixture into 1 1/2 tablespoon-size balls, packing just firmly enough so they hold together but not so much that they toughen. Put the balls on a plate or sheet of parchment paper.
• Warm the tomato sauce in a large pot over medium heat.
• Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the balls in batches, turning, until they're golden brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternatively, you can deep-fry the suckers if that's what you're into.) Add to the tomato sauce.
• Put 1 slice of mozzarella, 2 balls and 1 or 2 basil leaves on each roll. Serve with additional sauce and chopped parsley or basil on the side.

ITALIAN MEATBALL SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine Italian Seasoning Mix with ground beef and salt. Mix well and form into 8 equally sized meatballs. Place meatballs on a baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until cooked through. Warm pizza sauce in microwave or on stovetop. Form sliders by placing 1 meatball on each roll, then top with sauce and cheese.
