Meatball Sliders

Doesn't happen too often but every once in a while the kids slip something in the grocery cart and I don't catch it!! Usually a candy of some kind!! Well we were in Sam's Club around Superbowl time and Hannah slipped these in the cart...
A huge bag of meatballs! She had a sample of one and decided we needed a whole bag!! {Seriously don't know how I missed that one}! So tonight we had Meatball Sliders! They were pretty yummy!! I didn't have an exact recipe {not really that hard though} but followed this from The Girl Who Ate Everything. The picture is hers too!


24 frozen meatballs, thawed
2 cups marinara sauce
8 ounces sliced provolone or mozzarella {used swiss}
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
24 dinner rolls or 8 hot dog buns cut in thirds {I use the King's Hawaiian Rolls, perfect size}


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 9X13 pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Warm the meatballs in the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Separate the dinner rolls or hot dog buns and place one saucy meatball on the bottom roll. Top with mozzarella or provolone. Place the top roll on and push down slightly. Place meatball slider in the pan and continue to assemble the rest of the sliders. Microwave butter in a bowl in the microwave until melted. Add garlic powder and Italian seasonings and mix well. Brush tops of buns with melted butter mixture.
Toast in oven for 8-10 minutes or until toasted. Served with french fries and a green salad!! On the menu for tomorow.....Swedish Meatballs!!
