Tiny meatball sandwiches are a hit at my house of picky eaters. If the word "meatball" scares your children, call 'em pizza sandwiches!
- 1 package of dinner rolls (I used potato rolls, 18 ct.)
- 1 jar pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or mozzarella slices. (Grated cheese looks more like pizza!)
- 1 bag frozen meatballs
Empty the jar of pizza sauce into a saucepan on the stove, set at medium heat. Add the frozen meatballs. Let the mixture come to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes or so.
Split the dinner rolls in half to make sandwich buns. Place the split rolls, cut side up, on a cookie sheet and place under the broiler for about 2 minutes until lightly browned. Pull the cookie sheet back out of the oven and sprinkle the rolls with mozzarella cheese and return to the oven for just under a minute, til the cheese melts.
Remove cheesy toasted rolls from the oven. Place 2-3 meatballs on each half roll and top with the other half of the roll. Done!
These are not only fast and easy kid pleasers, they make great party food for a holiday, football or tailgate party! You can even take them to the office. The meatballs and sauce can be put into a slow cooker and transported to the party, then the sandwiches can assembled on site by the guests.
Each slider is about 200-250 calories, depending on the size of your rolls and how many meatballs you put on them.
