Monster Meatball Sliders serves: 6
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
You will need
• 6 slider buns
• 16oz bag frozen fully-cooked meatballs (approx 18 small meatballs)
• 1 ½ cups of marinara sauce (half a jar)
• 3 slices of mozzarella cheese
• 12 sliced black olives
• Also needed: 12 toothpicks
1. Heat the meatballs in a saucepan over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
Add the marinara sauce, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it simmer until fully heated through.
2. Cut the mozzarella slices in half, then slice each half into triangles to create the monster teeth. Place three meatballs with a little sauce on each slider bun.
Top each slider with two mozzarella triangles to resemble monster teeth, then add the bun top.
3. Use toothpicks to add sliced black olives on top of the sliders for the eyes.
4. Repeat the process for the remaining sliders. Serve the Monster Meatball Sliders warm and enjoy.
Tips and tricks! • Cut the mozzarella into small triangles before assembling the sliders so the monster teeth are quick and easy to add while the meatballs are warm.
• Use approximately three small meatballs per slider so the filling is evenly divided between all six buns.
• Add the olive eyes with toothpicks after placing the bun tops on the sliders, and remember to remove the toothpicks before eating.
