How to Make the BEST BBQ Meatloaf Slider Making Tips

Ingredients you’ll need to make Meatloaf Sliders: Ground beef, onion, barbecue seasoning, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, chili sauce (i.e. Heinz or similar) buttermilk, panko breadcrumbs, large egg and black pepper. You’ll also need Hawaiian sweet rolls or similar 12 count rolls.
To make the Meatloaf Glaze you’ll need: Chili sauce, apple cider vinegar, light brown sugar and barbecue seasoning. Use the same seasoning used in the meatloaf.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Medium bowl, small bowl, sharp knife and chopping board, sheet pans, measuring cups and spoons.
The beef mixture can be made one day in advance and chilled. You can do it one of two ways. Either form into individual portions and place into an airtight container with wax paper between layers and chill. Alternately, you can make the meatloaf mixture and store in an airtight container, then divide into portions just before baking. Either way, you’ll need to store chilled, of course.
The chili sauce called for in the recipe is not a spicy Asian chili sauce. Heinz chili sauce or a similar private label brand, is what the recipe is referring to.
If you’re feeding a hungry crowd, I highly recommend that you double the recipe so there will be plenty of meatloaf sliders to go around.
