Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a saucepan, combine the frozen meatballs and the jar of spaghetti sauce. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are heated through, about 5–10 minutes.
  • Unroll both cans of crescent rolls and separate the dough into the individual triangles (total 16 triangles). Cut each triangle in half crosswise to make 32 smaller triangles.
  • Cut each of the 11 mozzarella slices into thirds (you will have 33 cheese pieces). Set the pieces nearby—you will use one 1/3 piece per slider; one piece will likely remain extra.
  • Place one 1/3 piece of mozzarella on the wide end of a small crescent triangle, top with one warmed meatball, and roll the dough around the meatball toward the point. Place the assembled slider seam-side down on a baking sheet. Repeat until you have used the dough (up to 32 sliders).
  • Sprinkle the tops of the assembled sliders with the 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, if desired.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown. Let cool a few minutes before serving.

Notes

I used Great Value Italian Style Frozen Meatballs. You can use any brand you prefer.
There is no need to thaw the meatballs before making the recipe.
Make sure to buy the 1/2-ounce sized meatballs. They are bite-sized and fit perfectly on the crescent rolls.
My favorite jarred spaghetti sauces are Trader Joe’s Roasted Garlic Marinara (green label), Rao’s, and La Famigla DelGrosso.
Can use mozzarella or provolone cheese.
Serve the sliders with leftover spaghetti sauce.
These sliders taste best the day they are made.
They are good hot out of the oven or cooled to room temperature.
