With the Big Game approaching, I thought I would share a delicious game day recipe that happens to be one of our favorite appetizers throughout the year. These easy meatball sliders will definitely be on our menu, as well as buffalo chicken dip. When it comes to the game, my mind is definitely on the food more than anything!

Because really, does it get much better than juicy meatballs sauced in marinara and covered with hot, gooey cheese?! I loved the idea of making the classic meatball sub in a mini size, by using slider buns stuffed with saucy, scrumptious meatballs and melty provolone cheese. Topped off with a mixture of garlic, butter and baked until gooey. Although perfect for a game day appetizer, this recipe is also a family pleaser for those quick weeknight meals.

Meatball Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls

I will say it takes a really good bun to make this recipe such a hit! I carefully selected King’s Hawaiian Pre-Sliced Slider Buns! The new slider buns are pre-cut and slightly larger than King’s Hawaiian traditional dinner rolls. They will hold the meatball slider together perfectly and make this game day recipe irresistible. You will find King’s Hawaiian products in the deli/bakery aisle of your local grocery store. Of course, these buns would be perfect for pulled pork or mini-burgers as well!

1. Spray your 9×13 casserole dish and place the bottoms of your rolls in the dish.

3. Spoon cooked meatballs covered in your favorite marinara sauce on top of the slider rolls.

Tips for Making Meatball Sliders

• If you need to save even more time, pick up frozen meatballs as a quick and easy way to get your sliders served at your event.
• Use your favorite cheese or get creative and mix cheeses. I selected provolone for this recipe as a twist to the classic mozzarella cheese! Provolone just happens to be my husband’s preference.
• You can prep ingredients ahead of time and keep them in containers to save time during your party. Just be sure to keep the slider rolls in their packaging so they don’t get stale.
