Description
These Meatball Sliders combine tender meatballs made with lean ground beef and flavorful pesto, all nestled in soft Hawaiian rolls and topped with gooey mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 90% lean ground beef
- prepared pesto
- seasoned bread crumbs
- egg
- jarred pasta sauce
- Hawaiian sweet rolls
- mozzarella cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- seasoned butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, pesto, seasoned bread crumbs, and egg. Mix until fully combined.
- Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
- Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare the Hawaiian rolls by slicing them in half horizontally.
- In a saucepan, heat the pasta sauce until warm. Once the meatballs are done, add them to the sauce to coat.
- Place a few meatballs on the bottom halves of the rolls, top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with seasoned butter, then place the top halves on.
- Bake the sliders for another 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the rolls are golden brown.
