Preheat the Weber grill.

Prepare the meatball blend using 2.5 pounds of meat blend (beef, pork, veal) and 0.5 pound of ground beef.

Add 2 eggs to the meat mixture.

Use day old brioche buns instead of breadcrumbs, breaking them into smaller pieces.

Grate half an onion and sauté it to soften it, adding a little color.

Add a quarter cup of chopped parsley to the mixture.

Add 3/4 cup of ricotta cheese to the meat mixture.

Use 5 cloves of fresh garlic, minced, instead of roasted garlic.

Add 5 basil leaves, chopped, to the mixture.

Include a quarter cup of grated pecorino romano cheese, adjusting to taste if desired.

Season the mixture with salt and fresh cracked pepper.

Mix the meatball ingredients together using gloves to avoid overworking the meat.

Form the meatballs, using about two tablespoons of the mixture for each meatball.

Allow the meatballs to rest before cooking them.

Slice parsley and basil for garnish.

Heat sauce in a pot on the stove while preparing the meatballs.

Cook the meatballs on the grill, allowing a crust to form on one side before smashing them down to flatten.

Once cooked, assemble the sliders with the meatballs and desired toppings.
