Dream Dinners: Italian Pomodoro Beef Sliders and Rosemary Garlic Potato Wedges

After heading to the doctor yesterday, Mike and I were so tired.  Thankfully, I had pulled out a Dream Dinners meal to defrost, so I didn’t have to worry about making something from scratch or leaving the house to pick up something.  I started with the potato wedges.  I preheated the oven to 400 degrees and prepared my pan.  I put the wedges in a single layer and sprayed the tops.  I put them in the oven for 20 minutes.  Once I got the wedges in the oven, I started working on the sliders.  I heated up a skillet to medium high heat while I mixed together the beef and seasoning mix.  I separated the beef mixture into six small patties and cooked them for 5 minutes on each side.  I put the patties on the bottom of my slider rolls, added some pomodoro sauce, added a slice of fresh mozzarella, put the tops on and stuck them under the broiler for 2 minutes.  We each grabbed a slider, some potato wedges, and a bit of salad, and dinner was served.  The sliders were really tasty, but I slightly over cooked the buns.  The flavors were great, but I have a few suggestions for making everything just a little bit better. The sauce was both runny and chunky so maybe a slightly different consistency would have worked better and I also need to really watch rolls under the broiler.  The wedges had great flavor, but I would probably cook them at a higher temperature and or for a longer period of time.  Overall, this was a great meal and I look forward to the leftovers.
