Cheesy Meatballs Sliders Recipe

You will love these cheesy meatball sliders. They are great for dinner or entertaining for the big game.

I love that my kids little hands can hold them. Sometimes hamburgers or hot dogs can be a little big big for them, but these are the perfect size.

They are so simple and delicious, your guests will come back for thirds and fourths. They are just so tasty.

This recipe has been in the family for a long time, but with pre-made rolls, life has gotten so much easier.

I love that I don’t have to wait for them to rise, or cook, but I can pick them up at the store, and prepare this dinner in under 20 minutes.

This is the perfect recipe for busy moms. It’s also a family favorite, that every one is going to enjoy.

Tips for making cheesy meatball sliders

• When cooking the meatballs and marinara sauce, in a sauce pan, be sure to spray it first, with non-stick cooking spray.You will also want to continue to move and stir the mixture, to be sure it doesn’t stick or burn to the bottom of the pan.
• If you don’t like the idea of frozen meatballs, you could also make your own. Here are a few of our favorite homemade meatball recipes

How could I make this recipe healthier

There are lots of little steps you could take, to make this recipe a little more healthier.

-For me, I personally love using turkey meatballs. They aren’t so heavy and I actually prefer the taste a little bit more.

-You could also swap out your rolls for whole wheat rolls.

-I also look for sugar free sauce. Many sauces add a lot of sugar to them, but I always look for a sauce with little to no sugar.

-You could also put a little less cheese on, or no cheese at all.
