Meatball Sliders with Pepperoni and Caramelized Onions

As the countdown to college basketball games begins, it is time to gear up for the ultimate basketball game watch parties!  What better way to celebrate the excitement of the game than with a slam-dunk selection of snacks that will have your taste buds cheering along with every play? Every food table needs a star attraction and this year, it’s the Meatball Sliders with Pepperoni and Caramelized Onions. 

Picture this: You and your crew huddled around the TV, eyes glued to the screen as the anticipation builds with each shot, steal, and slam dunk. The energy is electric, and the only thing that can match the thrill of the game is the delicious spread of game day grub laid out before you. You will want these mini meatball sliders, which are super simple to put together, accompanied with other basketball themed items. 

What are the best meatballs for meatball sliders?

I used Rosina Italian Style Meatballs for these sliders because these Italian meatballs are authentic and an easy way to make the perfect Italian slider! I found them at my local grocery store in the frozen food section. They have multiple suggestions for cooking, but they come out perfect each and every time. I love that Rosina does the hard work, so I can enjoy the game! To find Rosina meatballs, check for a store near you. 

What is the best sauce for meatball sliders?

I used a garlic spaghetti sauce for my meatball sliders and the flavor was great, but you could use any marinara sauce or even homemade sauce. It’s easy to make your own sauce for these meatball sliders with tomato sauce, garlic and some seasonings.

What is the best cheese for meatball sliders?

I used provolone cheese slices for our meatball sliders, but again, this choice is up to you. The great thing about these sliders is that they’re fully customizable and always delicious. Any white cheese or cheese blend should taste amazing with Rosina Italian Style Meatballs.

The provolone really helps balance out the extra bold flavor of the pepperonis and onions. Of course, these sliders will be awesome with just the meatballs and sauce!

What is the best bread for meatball sliders?

I chose some fancier store-bought rolls, but hoagie rolls or a sub roll, cut up into smaller rolls would be a great option, too. I wanted to keep them small so they could be eaten easily with one hand while watching college basketball! 

What should I serve at my college basketball watch party?

Now that we have covered the best way to make the star of the party – Meatball Sliders – here are some other good choices for party food that I served at our basketball watch party. I went with the “ball” theme, and also orange, so I chose donut holes, clementines, and cookies with orange sprinkles. You could also add other items to dress up your meatball sliders, chips, deviled eggs….it really does not matter, as long as it is delicious!

So the food at your party is great, but remember, it’s not just about the food—it’s about the camaraderie, the rivalries, and the shared passion for the game that brings us all together. Whether you’re rooting for the underdog or standing by your alma mater, there’s a sense of unity in the air, as fans from all walks of life come together to witness basketball history in the making. From buzzer-beaters to nail-biting overtimes, college basketball captivates us with its raw intensity and unbridled excitement. And as we gather to watch the drama unfold, there’s no better way to fuel the fervor than with a lineup of game day snacks that rival the action on the court.

Get ready to witness the awesome matchups, indulge in the magic, and savor every mouthwatering moment of the ultimate basketball extravaganza. Because when it comes to college basketball, anything can happen—and with the perfect lineup of snacks by your side, you’re guaranteed to come out a winner every time!
