Description
These Hawaiian Rolls Meatball Sliders are a delicious comfort food that everyone will love.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Hawaiian Rolls, split horizontally
- 12 Fully Cooked Meatballs
- 1 1/2 cups Marinara Sauce
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This allows for even cooking. While the oven is heating, pour your marinara sauce into a saucepan and gently warm it over medium heat. Once it’s warm, add the fully cooked meatballs into the sauce. Stir gently and let them simmer until they are heated through, which usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Once your meatballs are heated, it’s time to assemble the sliders. Place the bottom halves of the Hawaiian rolls in your greased or lined baking dish. It’s okay to keep them connected for easier handling. Spoon some marinara sauce over each roll surface, ensuring they’re sufficiently covered but not overly soggy. Next, place a meatball on each roll followed by an additional spoonful of marinara for added flavor. Finally, generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over these toppings.
- Now it’s time to add the crown of your sliders! Carefully place the top half of the split Hawaiian rolls back over the meatballs. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and brush this mixture over the top of the rolls for that golden finish. Sprinkle dried Italian herbs over everything and cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake this for 15 minutes, keeping it covered to ensure the moisture stays in. After that, uncover the dish and allow it to bake for another 5-7 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted. This step provides that lovely crispy texture on top!
