Hawaiian Roll Meatball Sliders
Pull apart meatball sliders are perfect for an easy dinner or party appetizer. They feature soft King's Hawaiian rolls, meatballs, marinara sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and tasty garlic butter.
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Tablespoon
- Small bowl
- cooling rack
Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 12 meatballs cooked and hot
- 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 garlic clove peeled and finely minced
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the whole slab intact. Arrange the bottom half of the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon about a tablespoon of the marinara sauce on each roll.
- Top each bun with a meatball. Then, spoon more marinara sauce over the meatball.
- Sprinkle all over with mozzarella cheese.
- Place the bun tops over the cheese. Combine the melted butter and garlic in a small dish, and brush the top of the rolls all over with the garlic butter.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until sliders are hot, buns are golden brown, and cheese has melted, about 10 more minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Sprinkle all over with Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Makes 12 sliders.
Notes
Storage Instructions: Cool the sliders to room temperature, place them on a plate, and gently cover with plastic wrap or foil. You can also store them in an airtight container. Refrigerate and plan to enjoy them within 3 days.
Freezing Instructions: Cool the baked sliders to room temperature, and transfer them to a container or freezer safe plastic bag. They can be stored in the freezer for a period of 3-6 months. For optimal results, wrap each cooled slider individually in plastic wrap before placing them in the container or Ziploc bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to reheat, for best results thaw the sliders by placing them in the refrigerator overnight.
Reheating Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and cover the sliders loosely with foil. Bake for 8 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the sliders are thoroughly warmed.
