SLIDER BUNS RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Combine all the ingredients using a bread machine, stand mixer, or knead by hand until the dough is smooth and elastic. If you are using a bread machine's dough cycle, skip to step 3.
• Grease a large bowl with butter or olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled, about 45-60 minutes.
• When the dough is doubled in size, press it down, turn it onto a lightly floured surface, and let rest for 15 minutes. 
• Divide the dough into 15 pieces. Shape the pieces into smooth, round balls and place on a lightly oiled sheet pan. Cover and let the dough rise again until doubled, about 45-60 minutes.
• Preheat your oven to 400°F when your dough is almost finished rising.
• Bake the mini slider buns in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Remove the buns from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Serve warm or store in a plastic bag once the rolls have cooled completely.

Steps:

• Make the sliders: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, bread crumbs, allspice, nutmeg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion, and ¼ cup (10 g) parsley and mix until fully combined.
• Roll the ground meat mixture into 2½-inch-wide meatballs. You should have 16–18 meatballs total.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the meatballs until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the meatballs to a plate as they finish cooking and set aside.
• Make the mushroom sauce: Wipe out any excess oil from the skillet, then return to medium-low heat. Add the butter. Once melted, add the mushrooms and cook until softened and crispy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the flour and cook, stirring, until light beige in color, 1–2 minutes. Whisk in the Swanson® Beef Stock and Campbell's® Cream of Mushroom Soup until smooth. Stir in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice.
• Add the meatballs, turning to coat in the sauce. Continue cooking for 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
• Assemble the sliders: Dollop about 1½ teaspoons of cranberry sauce onto the bottom half of each slider bun, then scoop a meatball and a tablespoon of mushroom sauce on top. Garnish with the remaining ¼ cup parsley. Place the top halves of the slider buns on top and secure each slider with a toothpick.
• Serve warm.
• Enjoy!
