"meatball sliders" news and stories

Sorry to say my kitchen has a big boo-boo right now and is out of commission. Go figure? As soon as I finally get in the kitchen, I have to leave. Long story short, there was a leak in our pipes which warped the floors in our bedroom and living room. The construction crews came in and tore up the place looking for the leak, leaving a trail of dust ad hardwood flooring everywhere.

So, in the meantime, I thought I would share one of my favorites recipes to entertain with during the fall and winter months: Meatball Sliders. Yes, I know they aren't novel or even my idea, but I don't think they are served enough at functions. Easy to make and minimal clean-up keeps me going back to these over and over.

Do you make your meatballs in big batches? I sure do. The next time you make one of those tantalizing batches of goodness, roll a dozen or more meatballs in mini form, simmer in sauce and freeze them. That way, the night before the party you can start defrosting them and you're all set to go. I slice up some mozzarella (I tend not to use fresh because of the high water content) and stick them in the oven.

Tips and recipe after the jump.
