Ingredients
Scale
Slider Base
- 1 package Kings Hawaiian Rolls
Meatball Filling
- 12 cooked cocktail meatballs
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4-1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (divided)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Garlic Butter
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for toasting and baking the sliders.
- Prepare Rolls: Cut small circles into the center of each Hawaiian roll, creating a larger indent to hold the fillings.
- Toast Rolls: Brush the rolls generously with garlic butter made from melted butter mixed with Italian seasoning, then toast in the oven for about 4 minutes until lightly golden.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Spoon tomato sauce into the indent of each roll, then sprinkle a portion of the mozzarella cheese on top.
- Assemble Meatballs: Place a warmed cooked cocktail meatball on top of the sauced and cheesy rolls, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and then add the remaining mozzarella cheese over the meatballs.
- Bake Sliders: Return the assembled sliders to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the sliders to cool slightly for easier handling before serving warm.
Notes
- Using pre-cooked cocktail meatballs speeds up preparation time.
- Adjust the amount of mozzarella cheese according to your preference for cheesiness.
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes inside the rolls before assembling.
- These sliders are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
- Store leftover sliders wrapped tightly in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best texture.
