Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 package dinner rolls (12 rolls)
- 12 slices mozzarella cheese
Garlic butter
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil
- 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Do the prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F or 177°C. Halve the dinner rolls, set the lower halves on a baking sheet, and set aside.
- Make the meatballs. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Parmesan and 2 tablespoons chopped basil. Mix the ingredients until well combined. Form 12 golf-ball sized-meatballs and set them aside.
- Fry the meatballs. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, then flip. They will finish cooking in the next step. Remove the meatballs to a plate lined with paper towels. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
- Finish the meatballs. Pour the marinara sauce into the pan and place the meatballs into the sauce. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally until the sauce has reduced to a thick consistency. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the sliders. Place one meatball atop each halved dinner roll. Top with sliced mozzarella and cover with the top roll.
- Make the garlic butter. In a small bowl combine the melted butter, garlic, basil, and Parmesan. Mix well. Pour the garlic butter over the top of the sliders.
- Bake. Place into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
