Gyro Meatball Sliders

OPA everyone! Remember yesterday when we talked about ‘elevating’ our Superbowl foods to the next level….well, let me introduce you to my new favorite game-day bite!

You might say, “there’s not much going on there Sara.” And you may be right.  But don’t let these babies pull a trick-play on your taste buds.  They are perfection!

Make sure to add these to your game-day menu and your fans will be begging for you to make more!

 Gyro Superbowl Sliders with Tzatziki Sauce
whole wheat dinner rolls
1 lb ground lamb
1 large egg
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tbsp dried dill
1/4 -1/2 c whole wheat or gluten free bread crumbs
1/2 c crumbled feta cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cajun seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350.  Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray.  In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients (only 1/4 c breadcrumbs).  Using your hand or a spoon, mix all of the ingredients together.  If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs.  Roll into golf-ball sized balls and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes (until lightly browned and cooked through).

Tzatziki Sauce
1 1/2 c plain greek yogurt (I used Chobani)
1 tsp dried dill
1 tsp minced garlic
1 c peeled, seeded & diced cucumber
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

In a food processor, combine all ingredients until smooth.  Taste and adjust seasoning (add more salt or pepper) as needed.

To assemble, split rolls, add the meatball and top with sauce.
