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.
