This is it! We are down to the final four as college basketball fever sweeps the nation. As you cheer on your alma mater or favorite team, all it takes is a little creativity to whip up a snack that is a slam dunk! If you love sliders, this recipe is for you. Believe me, these bite-sized cheeseburgers are addictive. The best part is, these fun appetizers look like little basketballs in a basket!
SLAM DUNK CHEESEBURGER BITES
8 packaged frozen meatballs, thawed
1 package (1.9 ounce) frozen mini fillo shells (15 shells)
4 ounces finely shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup ketchup
8 Bread & Butter pickles, halved
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve each meatball and set aside.
2. Remove fillo shells from plastic tray and place shells in a small baking dish. Place about 2 teaspoons cheese into each shell. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon ketchup over cheese, and place a pickle half on top of ketchup. Top each with a meatball half, rounded side up.
3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until shells are golden and crispy. Serve hot. Makes 15 completely addicting and fun appetizers that look like little basketballs in a basket!

These look great, would like to know about nutrition (sodium,fat,carbs etc.)
This is great!!! I have a huge SuperBowl party every year, but I am also going to serve these at New Year’s party (same people!!) thanks
To Janet. You would have to check for the nutrition on the bag of meatballs that you purchase. Each brand is different. Can also check for nutrition on the phylo shells package.
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmy!!!
I make these for the guys for hunting except we use a sandwuch loaf of bread…and they love them.
