Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 batch homemade meatballs
  • 1 batch batch quick marinara sauce
  • 2 packages hawaiian sweet rolls 12 count each
  • 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup fresh or grated parmesan cheese

For the Garlic Butter:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1-2 cloves garlic grated or minced
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • pinch salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Lightly spray the inside of a 9”x13” baking dish with cooking spray. Cutting the rolls in half horizontally as you would a bagel and place the bottoms in the baking dish, setting the tops aside for later. 
  3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper and heat until fragrant. 
  4. Brush a light layer of the garlic butter on the bottoms of the rolls, followed by about ½ -2/3 cup of marinara sauce, depending on how saucey you want your sliders. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and parmesan evenly over the sauce. 
  5. Next, add the meatballs. You can either place a whole meatball on each slider bun or you can cut the meatballs in half and distribute them evenly across the rolls. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.
  6. On the cut side of the roll tops, spread another ½ to ⅔ cup of the marinara. Place the tops on the sliders. Brush the top of the sliders with the remaining garlic butter.
  7. Bake until heated through and the cheese is nice and melty, about 15-20 minutes .
  8. Serve with the remaining marinara as dipping sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Replace the homemade quick marinara sauce with a jar of your favorite marinara sauce or pizza sauce.
  • Replace the homemade meatballs with your favorite fully cooked frozen meatballs (thawed).
