Easy BBQ Meatball Sliders Recipe

Ingredients

• 12 frozen 1-inch party meatballs
• 1 (18 ounce) bottle BBQ sauce
• 1 (12 count) package Hawaiian bread rolls
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
• 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 12 dill pickle slices
• 0.5 cup crispy onion strips
• 3 tablespoons sliced green onions

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a small saucepan, combine the meatballs and BBQ sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the meatballs are heated through.
3. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise, keeping them connected. Lightly butter the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the dish, cut-side up. Reserve the remaining butter. Spoon a bit of BBQ sauce from the saucepan and spread it lightly over the bread.
4. In a bowl, combine Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture over the sauce, then top with pickles and evenly distribute the onion strips.
5. Using a 1-inch cookie cutter or a small knife, cut a small 1-inch hole into the top of each roll. Place the top half of the rolls over the onion strips. Mix garlic powder into the remaining melted butter and brush the mixture over the rolls. Let any excess drip into the cut-out spaces. Spoon one meatball and about 1 teaspoon of sauce into each hole. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
6. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is fully melted, uncovering halfway through. This should take about 20 minutes. Sprinkle green onions on top before serving.
