- Add all of the ingredients for the meatballs into a mixing bowl and work together with your hands until combined. Use heaping Tbsp. scoops of the mixture and roll into 8 meatballs. Start heating some EVOO in a non-stick skillet set to about medium heat. Once heated, add your meatballs to the skillet and let them sear for about 3 minutes. Flip, and continue for another 3 - 4 minutes until you have a nice, crispy sear on two of the sides. Turn off the heat.
- Preheat your oven to 350 F
- Spray a baking dish large enough to accommodate them with cooking spray. Get the bottoms of your slider buns into the dish and then nestle a meatball on each one. Top each one with a tbsp. of the shredded cheddar and put the tops on, gently smashing down the meatballs / cheese to keep them together.
- Melt your butter in the microwave and brush the tops of each slider bun with the butter. Lay a slice of spicy jalapeno on top of each slider. Bake your sliders for 13 - 16 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove your dish and set it onto a wire cooling rack. Once your sliders are cool enough to handle safely, serve them up. Open the tops and give them each a squirt of the Baja sauce and a spoonful of the spicy green salsa. ENJOY!
Notes
- After baking the sliders, they were super cheesy and when I opened them to put the sauce on, it was a bit of a challenge lol You could always serve the sauces on the side for dunking the sliders in the event that opening them is too much of a hassle.
- The Taco Bell Baja Sauce was a recent find. It's a bit like a thicker, cheesy ranch in a way. Sub regular Ranch if desired.
- Servings vary. I put 8 because there's 8 sliders but it really depends on how you're serving them. Lunch, snack, dinner etc.
