Hawaiian Roll Meatball Sliders with Pasta Jay’s Classic Marinara Sauce
Ingredients:
Hawaiian Sweet Rolls – Use the classic, dinner roll size, not the buns.
1/4 cup of butter, melted
1 tsp. garlic salt
16 oz. frozen meatballs– Using Italian-seasoned store-bought meatballs is an amazing shortcut, but you can of course, use your own homemade meatballs. You can use ground beef, pork, turkey, or a mixture.
1-2 cups of Pasta Jay’s Classic Marinara sauce
Mozzarella cheese – Use sliced mozzarella cheese. You can also use provolone or an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
Garnish – Optional, but you can garnish with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, fresh parsley or fresh basil.
Directions:
Prep meatballs. Cook meatballs according to package instructions. You can bake or saute in a skillet.
Prep Hawaiian buns. Carefully slice buns in half lengthwise so that you can peel the top of the rolls off.
Mix garlic butter. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter and garlic salt.
Assemble meatball sliders. Layer bottom half of buns in a prepared pan lined with foil and top each section of bun with one meatball. Top with Pasta Jay’s Classic Marinara sauce and layer with cheese slices so they cover the whole section.
Bake sliders. Top with top buns and brush with garlic butter. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and cheese has melted.
Enjoy!
