Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine ground beef, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, and 1 egg. Mix gently with hands until just combined (do not overmix). Form into 16 small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
  2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F).
  3. Step 3: While meatballs cook, mix 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
  4. Step 4: Place meatballs on paper towels to drain excess fat. Spread honey mustard mixture on bottom halves of slider buns. Top with 2 meatballs each, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella. Serve immediately.
