Sweet and sour meatball appetizers have probably been around forever. I’ve certainly made them a time or two. I was looking for a different way to serve them. Something new that makes people not realize they’re eating the usual. Something with a great sweet and sour sauce and more. And so I made sweet and sour meatball sliders. These are a great way to get rid of those ‘oh great meatball appetizers again’ doldrums. Of course you still get great meatballs, but you get more. A lot more.
They Pop In Your Mouth
The crispiness and coolness of the cucumber really makes these sweet and sour meatball sliders stand out in the crowd. As does the tomato. They’re quite yummy and addicting. Make a bunch for your next family get-together and watch them disappear. They assemble in just minutes, making them perfect for feeding a crowd.
I used my cast iron skillet to make the meatballs and sauce.
Sweet and Sour Meatball Sliders
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 24 ounce meatballs pre-cooked, thawed (I used Johnsonville)
- 4 cups sweet and sour sauce I made a batch of our easy sweet and sour sauce
- 28 slider rolls
- 2 large cucumbers sliced
- Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Place meatballs and sauce in a large sauce pan or pot and warm over medium heat.
- Place a slice (or two if they are small) of cucumber on each slider roll bottom.
- Add a meatball with a little of the sauce. Note: I flattened the meatballs just slightly using a wooden spatula so they would look a little larger on the buns. If you’re using larger meatballs you can probably skip flattening them.
- Add top bun and secure with a skewer and tomato.
