Meatball Sliders Recipe
Easy Meatball Sliders made with juicy Italian meatballs, marinara sauce, and plenty of melty cheese baked on soft Hawaiian rolls with garlic butter topping. Perfect for parties, game day, and weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian slider rolls
- 12 fully cooked Italian meatballs homemade or frozen (see my recipe in the notes)
- 1½ cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp parsley chopped
- red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Cook the meatballs (homemade version in the notes) or according to package instructions if using frozen meatballs. Warm them in marinara sauce over medium heat until heated through.
- Without separating the rolls, carefully slice the entire sheet of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half into a greased baking dish or sheet pan.
- Sprinkle a small layer of mozzarella cheese onto the bottom buns. Place one meatball onto each roll section and spoon additional marinara over the top.
- Add the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Place the tops of the buns over the cheese.
- Combine melted butter, garlic, parsley, and Italian seasoning. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for another 5 to 8 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
- Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
