Baked Cheesy Meatball Sliders Recipe with Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F/176C degrees and heat through the meatballs in the marinara sauce over medium-low stove temperature.

Step 2

Lightly grease with butter a 9x12 baking dish. Separate top bread buns from the bottoms and place the baking pan. Using a cookie cutter or your fingers, cut out 1 inch diameter circle in each top bun. Brush olive oil over the cut top of the bottom bread bun, then sprinkle with garlic power. Evenly distribute 1/2 cup of Stella Mozzarella or Fontinella cheese and the 1/2 cup of Asiago or Parmesan cheese over the top. Place dabs of the marinara sauce (about 1/2 cup) across top of cheese and top with the bread bun top layer.

Step 3

Place one meatball in each hole of the bun and can dab each with a little extra marinara, if desired. Evenly top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of Mozzarella or Fontinella cheese.

Step 4

Cover top loosely with aluminum foil for 10 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 12 minutes, or until cheese is all melted and insides are heated through.

Step 5

Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately!
