Meatball Sliders

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef 
• 7 button mushrooms, diced very finely 
• 1/4 sweet yellow onion, diced very finely 
• 1/4 cup of Italian style breadcrumbs 
• 1/4 cup of Asiago cheese, grated 
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced 
• 1 egg 
• 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped 
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped 
• 1 tsp fennel seed, crushed 
• Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper 
• 1 tsp olive oil (for cooking) 
• Dinner rolls
• Roasted Tomato, Garlic, and Onion Marinara 
• Fresh basil leaves 

 Make the roasted marinara and let it simmer for 2-4 hours (or just use your favorite jar of marinara sauce). 

Chop the mushrooms and onions as small as you can. Combine the first 11 ingredients together gently. Form into meatballs and set aside. 

Once the meatballs are prepared, heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tsp olive oil. Cook the meatballs until golden brown on all sides. 

Add the meatballs to the marinara sauce and simmer for 20-30 minutes. 

Toast the rolls in the oven then add a meatball to the bottom bun, add a fresh basil leaf, and then the top bun. Enjoy!
