Why I Love These Mini Meatball Subs
Let me just say, these little subs are a lifesaver. They’re everything you want in a meal: warm, cheesy, saucy, and wrapped up in a cute, handheld package. They remind me of cozy family dinners and game nights with friends, where food is messy, laughter is loud, and plates are empty before you know it.
The Simple Ingredients That Make Magic
Mini Meatballs (12 pieces): Whether you make them from scratch or grab a bag at the store, these juicy little gems are the star.
Slider Buns (2 small rolls): Soft, golden buns that hold all the saucy goodness without falling apart.
Marinara Sauce (1/2 cup): A rich, flavorful hug for the meatballs.
Mozzarella Cheese (1/2 cup shredded): The melty crown jewel that ties it all together.
Fresh Basil or Parsley (Optional): For that fancy finishing touch.
Let’s Make It
Heat the Meatballs:
Toss your mini meatballs into a saucepan with marinara sauce. Heat them up until they’re warm and coated in saucy goodness.Prep the Rolls:
Slice the slider buns in half, resisting the urge to snack on one (or two) before they’re filled.Assemble the Sliders:
Layer six meatballs onto each bun. Be generous with the sauce—no one’s judging! Sprinkle on a handful of shredded mozzarella to seal the deal.Melt the Cheese:
If you’re like me and live for that gooey cheese pull, pop the sliders under the broiler for a minute. Watching the cheese bubble and melt is pure happiness.Garnish and Serve:
Add a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley if you want to get fancy. Then serve them up and watch them disappear.
