PIZZA SLIDERS

 1 lb lean ground beef

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

2 tsp chopped fresh oregano

1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup marinara sauce

4 ounces mozzarella, sliced thin

8 small leaves Boston lettuce

8 whole-wheat dinner rolls, split and toast

In a large bowl, mix the beef and spices until well combined. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions and for each into a 1-inch thick patty.

Grill meat to your preference of doneness. 

Spoon marinara onto each slider and add a slice of mozzarella. Continue to grill until the cheese melts.

Place a lettuce piece on the bottom of each roll and top with a slider. Place top of roll over the melted cheese.

Yield: 4 servings of 2 sliders

This is my version of a recipe I saw in Eating Well this past summer.
