Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

  • Layer about half of the mozzarella cheese on the bottom rolls.
    2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • Remove meatballs from the heat and place one meatball onto each roll, and drizzle about 2 Tablespoons of sauce over each meatball.
  • Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over top of the meatballs.
  • Add more sauce over the meatballs as desired. Don't drench them - we want sauce but not soggy sliders. Save any leftover sauce for dipping.
  • Place the top buns into the sliders.
  • In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Brush the oil mixture over top of the sliders.

  • Bake for 20 minutes, tenting the sliders with foil for the last half of the baking time to avoid the tops from getting too brown..
  • Use a knife to cut the rolls apart and serve.
