02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Mix and Shape Patties

In a large bowl, mix together the ground meats, egg, Romano cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in the breadcrumbs, then slowly add water a little at a time until the mixture feels moist but holds together well. Shape the mixture into patties about 2 ounces each, then pop them in the fridge to chill while you get everything else ready.

02

Grill and Melt Cheese

When you’re ready to cook, heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and lightly oil it. Cook the patties thoroughly on both sides. Once they're almost done, place half a slice of provolone cheese on each patty and let it melt for about a minute.

Toast Buns and Serve

While the cheese is melting, toast the buns cut side down on the grill until they’re golden and slightly crispy. To serve, pile each slider with a couple of tablespoons of grilled onions and sun-dried tomatoes. Enjoy!
