Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the ground meats, egg, Romano cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in the breadcrumbs, then slowly add water a little at a time until the mixture feels moist but not too wet. Shape the mixture into patties about 2 ounces each, then pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.

Step 2
Heat up your grill or a grill pan over medium heat and lightly oil it to prevent sticking. Cook the patties thoroughly, flipping them once so they’re nicely browned on both sides. Just before they’re done, place a halved slice of provolone on each patty and let it melt for about a minute.

Step 3
While the cheese is melting, toast the slider buns cut side down on the grill until they’re golden and crispy. To assemble, pile each slider with a couple tablespoons of grilled onions and sun-dried tomatoes, then top with the cheesy meatball patties. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
These sliders combine juicy meatballs with melted provolone for a comforting and flavorful bite. They are perfect for casual gatherings or a quick dinner. The blend of savory meat and gooey cheese makes them a crowd-pleaser every time.
How to serve
Serve these sliders with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad. A tangy marinara sauce or spicy aioli pairs well as a dipping option. They also work great with pickles or sliced onions for extra crunch.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them gently in the oven or microwave to keep the cheese melted and the meatballs warm. For longer storage, freeze the meatballs separately and assemble fresh when ready to serve.
