Kid-friendly Mini Meatball Sliders

This is easily one of our go-to weekday meals that the kids love to help me with. I make these at least once a week when we’re busy with sports or homework. With just 4 ingredients, you will see how simple this is to make and you will be adding it to your menu plan!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Jar Pasta Sauce
  • 1 Bag Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese or Mozzarella Cheese
  • 12 Pack Hawaiian Rolls
  • Any Style Frozen Meatballs

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a small baking tray with parchment paper.
  3. Thaw frozen meatballs.
  4. Slice the rolls horizontally and separating the buns from each other, but them close together.
  5. Put the bottom buns on the prepared baking sheet
  6. Spread 1/2 cup of the pasta sauce on top.
  7. Place the meatballs on top of the sauce, so that each roll will have its own meatball or two (depending on size).
  8. Pour the remaining sauce over the meatballs.
  9. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the meatballs.
  10. Place the top rolls on top the cheese.
  11. Bake for approximately 15 mins. until the cheese melts and the topping turns golden brown.
  12. Carefully remove individual sliders to plate.
  13. Serve.

Notes:

  • While the original recipe is great, we like to flavor it up a bit!
    • Combine melted butter and garlic salt.
    • Brush over the sliders.
    • Sprinkle additional cheese on top before baking.

These sliders are super simple, but so yummy! Our family loves this delicious recipe and hopefully yours will too!
