These little and lean sliders cook slowly, but they’ll be gone fast!
 
Ingredients for the meatballs:
1 lb. extra-lean (96 percent) ground beef or lean ground turkey. (Extra-lean ground beef or turkey is recommended when using the slow cooker to make meatballs since the fat cannot be drained.)
1 egg
2 tbsp. bread crumbs
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
½ tsp. minced garlic
½ tsp. onion powder
½ tsp. Italian seasoning
½ tsp. black pepper
2 jars of tomato and basil marinara sauce
1 bay leaf

To complete the slider:
Wheat minirolls
Mozzarella cheese slices
Frill picks
Empty one jar of marinara sauce into the slow cooker.
  1. In a large bowl mix extra-lean ground beef together with the remaining ingredients except the bay leaf.
  2. Form beef mixture into 12 meatballs. Place meatballs in an even layer in the slow cooker on top of the marinara sauce from the first jar.
  3. Top the meatballs with the remaining jar of marinara sauce. Add bay leaf.
  4. Cook in slow cooker on low for six to eight hours or on high for two to three hours, or until meatballs are done.
  5. Toast rolls in oven at 350 degrees. Fill inside of toasted roll with one meatball, 2 tablespoons sauce, and one-quarter slice of cheese. Hold slider together with frill pick.
