Ingredients

1 pack pre-cooked frozen meatballs
1 12-pack slider rolls
1 1/2 cups marinara or tomato sauce
6 slices provolone cheese
1 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 pinch kosher salt (a scant 1/8 teaspoon)
shaved Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

Preheat grill to 350 degrees.
Warm the frozen meatballs on the grill until heated through, about 10–15 minutes. Alternatively, warm according to package directions.
Place the slider rolls on a baking sheet and slice the entire package in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected.
Spread marinara over the bottom half of the rolls. Place one meatball on each roll, then top with the provolone cheese. Add a little more marinara and place the top half of the rolls back in place.
Melt the butter and combine with granulated garlic and kosher salt. Brush over the tops of the rolls and sprinkle with Parmesan, if using.
Place the baking sheet on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the rolls are warm and toasted and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the grill, separate the sliders, and serve warm with extra marinara for dipping.

Notes

If using larger meatballs, cut them in half so they fit more easily inside the slider rolls.

You can substitute mozzarella, fontina, or another good melting cheese for the provolone.

To make these in the oven, bake the assembled sliders at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are warm.
