The Bison Girl :: a lifestyle of good cooking, good eating & living well

Are you ready for another slider recipe? I sure am. I have been really into sliders lately, and sure been enjoying the heck out of them! This one (like all of them really), was crazy easy to put together, and the taste was just perfect! Really all there is to this recipe is making up your meatballs, toasting your slider buns with melted cheese and then putting together the simple sandwich! 1 lb. of Ground Bison should make about 8 meatballs. I used my pretty basic meatball recipe for these sliders, adding a little extra crushed red pepper for a bit more of a kick. If you like things with a little more heat, feel free to add even more!

Remove from grill and serve on a toasted bun with a generous helping of cream cheese topping.  For a little extra crunch or kick, add some jalapeño slices on top as well.
