Ingredients

Scale

Slider Ingredients

  • 1 package savory butter Hawaiian rolls
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Filling Ingredients

  • 12 frozen meatballs
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare Buns: Remove the Hawaiian rolls from the package and carefully use a knife to cut a circle out of the center of each bun’s top. Press down the extracted center to create a hollow hole in each bun.
  3. Butter and Season Buns: Brush both the inside and top of each bun with the melted butter, then sprinkle garlic powder evenly over the top to add flavor.
  4. Add Cheese: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella inside the hollowed section of each bun as a cheesy base.
  5. Insert Meatballs: Take one frozen meatball and press it firmly into the cheesy hollow on the top of each bun.
  6. Top with Sauce: Spoon a generous amount of marinara sauce over each meatball, enhancing the savory taste.
  7. Sprinkle Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella over the top of the meatballs and sauce to create a melty, gooey topping.
  8. Bake: Place the prepared sliders on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are thoroughly heated and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use frozen meatballs for convenience, but thawing them slightly can reduce baking time.
  • For an extra kick, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes with the garlic powder.
  • Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed for optimal melting and flavor.
  • Serve warm as a party appetizer or game day snack.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave but are best enjoyed fresh.
