Equipment

  • 11"x7" baking pan
  • nonstick cooking spray

Ingredients

  • 12 slider-size Hawaiian rolls
  • 12 frozen meatballs thawed and cooked (kept warm)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 11"x7" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place all 12 rolls into the pan without separating them.
  • Use a knife to cut a hole in the center of each roll. This is where the meatballs will sit snugly. Place one meatball into each hole.
  • Generously spoon marinara sauce over each meatball. Then, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  • Pour melted butter over the sliders, ensuring each one gets a bit. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning evenly over the top.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately for best results.

Notes

  • I love adding a little extra marinara sauce inside the roll before placing the meatball. 
  • If you prefer reheating these sliders, I recommend using an air fryer at 350°F for about 4 minutes.
