Is PREMIO Sausage Healthy
When it comes to sausage there are so many options. Especially in my neck of the woods where there are plenty of stores that make homemade sausages.
I tend to alternate the brands I use for different recipes, but when it comes to these Chicken Sausage Meatball Parmesan slider, PREMIO Chicken Sausage is often a brand I use.
The PREMIO sweet Italian chicken sausage is one of my favorites. Nothing beats the all natural, Italian seasonings in their Chicken Sausage. This product has no preservatives or artificial additives.
All the flavors are there, you really just need to add your own special touch to make it your own.
That’s just what I did by adding in some basil pesto to the mix. The pesto just kicks it up a few extra flavor notches, giving it my own Cheftini touch!
How to make Chicken Sausage Meatball Sliders
Other than de casing and rolling the meatballs taking a little extra prep work time, this recipe is really quite simple and makes anywhere from 36-45 meatballs, depending on their size. That should be plenty to feed a crowd of hungry football fans!
Not only does this batch yield a good amount, they all bake simultaneously in the oven in no time. Thus making this a quick and pretty time friendly game day bite.
PRO TIP: A great tip to making this dish really time efficient, is to keep all the meatballs the same size. When all the meatballs are the same size they’ll cook evenly and at the SAME time. You won’t have any rogue undercooked meatballs this way.
The best way to keep all the meatballs the same size is by using a scooper. I use a 2″ mini ice cream scooper . This scooper can be used for everything from cookies to meatballs, it’s by far one of my favorite kitchen utensils.
Another great thing I love about this dish is that this is a great family activity. Call the fam into the kitchen to share in the work. This way everyone helps and does something together.
If they resist just remind them that the faster the meatballs get done, the faster everyone can eat!
As soon as the chicken sausage meatballs are rolled, just cover them with sauce, mozzarella cheese and foil. Bake them in a pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to bake until the cheese is all melted.
Place the chicken sausage meatball onto slider rolls, maybe add a little extra cheese and plate them up!
Besides popping these little guys into my mouth, my favorite thing about these Chicken Sausage Meatball Parmesan Sliders is decorating them with adorable little football party picks. I mean, I know it is so un-football like to say they are “cute” BUT how CUTE are these!!!
You are so gonna be the hostess with mostess when you make these PREMIO Chicken Sausage Meatball Parmesan Sliders. With a few extra hands in the kitchen and about 30 minutes of baking time, you’ll be ready to sit back, relax and enjoy the game!
