Hawaiian rolls, Bleu cheese, and ground beef… all I can say is yum. These are not only delicious, they are easy to make ahead, and super fun to eat! I don’t know why but miniature versions of familiar foods always makes them taste better. I love adding a little whimsy to a weeknight dinner, especially when it doesn’t take any extra time or effort.
Black and Bleu Sliders
Time: 30 minutes
Level: Easy
Servings: 4-6
2 tbsp. ketchup
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1 egg
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1/4 c. bleu cheese
1 lb. ground beef
Hawaiian rolls, as many as you need
Preheat oven to 350°. Mix all ingredients together then add beef. Handle the beef as little as possible to keep it from becoming tough. Roll beef mixture into golf ball sized balls and bake until no longer pink inside.
Pinch out a little piece of the bottom of each roll, just enough to nestle the meatball.
Yum!
Tips
- Serve with desired condiments. Mayo, ketchup, and mustard are good choices but thousand island or ranch dressing is also good!
- Don’t like bleu cheese? No big deal! You can use any cheese you like.
- These also make a great appetizer.
- Make the meatballs ahead and freeze them to bake at a later date.
