- Small Rectangle Baking Dish (11×7 or 9×13)
- Non-stick spray
- Microwave safe bowl
- Spatula
- Bread Knife
- Basting brush
- Foil
Ingredients
- 8 Italian Style Meatballs (I use frozen but you can use homemade)
- 12 ounce Marinara Sauce (about 1/2 a jar)
- 8 Bakery Rolls
- 2 Slices of Mozzarella Cheese
- ½ cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- ¼ teaspoons Minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°
- Prepare meatballs as desired. If you’re using frozen meatballs, cook them on medium-low heat in the marinara sauce for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare baking dish with nonstick spray
- Using a bread knife, cut the rolls in half and put the bottom halves in the baking dish as pictured
- With a spatula, spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the bread in the baking dish
- Place 1 meatball in the center of each roll. Spoon a little of the remaining marinara sauce over each meatball. *TIP* - Tip, you CAN cut the meatballs in half, which makes eating them easier – especially for kiddos with smaller hands!
- Sprinkle grated parmesan and basil over the meatballs to taste
- Cut the 2 slices of mozzarella into quarters (cut each slice in half twice to make 8 smaller squares)
- Place the mozzarella squares on top of each meatball
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic and tablespoon of grated parmesan. Add a dash of basil and pepper to taste.
- Cover each slider with the top half of bread
- With a basting brush, cover the tops with the garlic butter
- Cover with foil
- Bake for 20 minutes
