There is arguably no hotter (no pun intended) segment of the outdoor cooking industry than griddles. In addition to new high-end equipment from such manufacturers as Weber and Traeger, as well as the continued dominance of the Blackstone brand, the creativity in recipes being shared via social media is truly remarkable. As such, we have teamed up with one of the most visible faces in the griddling arena — Neil Williams, a.k.a. The Flat Top King — to share some of his amazing recipes!

Kicking things off is his recipe for what he refers to as “smashed meatball sliders,” a unique twist on the uber-popular smash burger! Check out the recipe below and be sure to browse all of the other great recipes from The Flattop King on his official website, as well as on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. And without further ado, here’s the king!

If you’re looking for some fantastic Blackstone sliders to make on the griddle, then this easy smashed meatball sliders recipe is for you! Learn how to make these fantastic griddle sliders with a homemade meatball recipe!

Introducing your new favorite griddle sliders recipe… smashed meatball sliders!

Picture this – You’re serving homemade meatball sliders at your next backyard get-together, and a guest bites into one of your messy sliders, only to have the perfectly round meatball push right through the backside of the bun and escape down the front of her dress.

If you’ve ever eaten a meatball slider or a meatball sub, then you know what I’m talking about. The round shape of a meatball isn’t exactly conducive to being sandwiched between two pieces of bread.

So what’s the fix? Smashed meatball sliders!

You can smash everything on the griddle from the best smash burgers to these unique and incredibly tasty smashed potato skins stuffed with barbecue pulled pork, so why not flatten some homemade meatballs, too!

Here’s how to make this awesome griddle sliders recipe that combines everyone’s favorite mini sandwiches with some classic Italian meatballs!
