Ingredients
- 8 Italian Style Meatballs (I use frozen but you can use homemade)
- 12 oz Marinara Sauce (1/2 jar)
- 8 Bakery Rolls
- 2 Slices of Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 Cup of Ricotta
- 2 Tbs Butter
- 1/4 Tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbs Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Basil and Pepper to Taste
Other Supplies Needed:
- Small Rectangle Baking Dish (11×7 or 9×13)
- Non-Stick Spray
- Microwave Safe Bowl
- Spatula
- Bread Knife

Directions
- 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, 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
