Moroccan Meatball Sliders are soooo tasty that you’ll want to make them every tailgating Sunday. They are easy to make by using premade mini bagels, Moroccan seasoned beef, and a delicious sauce and they come together quickly with minimal effort.
Why I Love this Recipe
My friends at Sabra Dipping Co. recently asked me if I’d like to do a tailgating recipe and of course I had to say YES. I mean, come on…I love a good tailgating recipe like these Moroccan Meatball Sliders. Make sure you check out the end of the post for other tailgating ideas. For my tailgating recipe, I decided to make a meatball slider and WHOA did they ever taste amazing. The only thing heard at the table were the grunts from happy eaters. I mixed tandoori spices, hummus, and the usual meatball suspects. Formed them into balls about the size of a small orange and grilled them to perfection. A little Sabra Greek Yogurt Diced Onion Dip on a toasted mini bagel and the crew will be screaming TOUCHDOWN! They were incredibly delicious, easy and quick to make and a serious crowd pleaser.
Ingredients & Substitutions
- Ground Beef
- Panko Bread Crumbs
- Onion, diced
- Hummus, plain
- Tandoori spice blend, or other Indian Masala seasoning
- Cilantro
- Egg
- Kosher salt and Black pepper
- Mini bagels
- Onion Dip, prepared
How to Make
- In a medium bowl add the ingredients: ground beef through ground pepper and mix just until combined. Use a large hinged scoop, or a spoon and make meatballs about 2 1/2 inches in circumference. Place on a parchment lined plate and continue with remaining meat mixture.
- Grill the meatballs for about 15 minutes or until no longer pink inside, turning every few minutes to cook on each side. Toast the bagel halves for 1 minute on the grill. Remove and assemble by placing a meatball on 8 of the bagels, spread a tablespoon of greek yogurt dip on the bagel top and press onto the meatballs. Use a toothpick to hold them in place (optional). Serve immediately.

This is so super duper awesome! Yummmm!!!! And Sabra is so awesome to do this!
Would love to win this big boy. It’s always summer here an we haven’t gotten a grill yet. This would be perfect.
My younger brother has a Big Green Egg and swears by it. I’m jealous. LOL
Okay, that big green egg has been on my wish list for a very long time. I’m the one to “man” the grill in our house and would love to use this baby all summer long. And those sliders…yeah, I need to make those!
Sliders are usually flat and thin, not round as a meatball… or what makes these sliders according to you?
These sound wonderful
Great recipe; hummus is a staple here. We always use Sabra. I am thinking turkey meatball sliders over the weekend!
the sliders look so tasty and the Big Green Egg is beautiful!
would never have thought of hummus as an additive – thanks ever so for developing this recipe!
I love sliders…don’t love hamburgers. Weird, right? I happen to have some Sabra hummus in my fridge…these are on my to do list soon! Oh…and if I win this awesome thing you can come over and show me how to use it!
haha…you know I would in a hot minute! 🙂 Thanks for the comment. xo
