The Saucier, The Better
Need a fulfilling appetizer for hungry guests? Our saucy bite-sized meatball burgers are the ideal solution for the most ravenous of party-goers. Drenched in marinara sauce and melty cheese, they’re saucy, satisfying, and Oh. So. Tasty.
Starting with the meatballs, you’ll need lean ground beef and a half a cup of our Carolina® Jasmine Rice with Quinoa. For seasoning, add in chopped garlic, dried Italian spices, and a bit of soy sauce. For added flavor, our rice gets cooked in a beef bouillon cube. Apart from these ingredients, one egg, two tablespoons of ketchup, diced onions, and chopped carrots will help bind everything together.
Once combined, these roast in the oven for just 20 minutes. Then, topped with marinara and shredded mozzarella they’re popped back in the oven for an additional five minutes. After, mount them on mini slider buns and top with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of parmesan.
Recipe Tips
Looking to cut out the beef? Go ground turkey or pork for a protein substitute. You could also try mixing things up and using long grain rice instead of quinoa.
