12 sweet dinner rolls1 cup mozzarella cheese, shreddedprovolone cheese slicesfresh basilInstructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and prepare a mini muffin tray by spraying with cooking oil, set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for meatballs. Roll the mixture into 12 balls, transfer each meatball to a compartment in the muffin tray.
- Take the head of garlic, cut off the root to expose each clove, wrap in foil, and place into the muffin tray.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and browned on the outside, ensuring they remain moist. Remove the meatballs and allow the garlic to cook for another 10-15 minutes until the cloves are soft. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Keep the oven on.
- Heat oil in a large pot over low-medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent. Then add Red Gold Mild Diced Tomatoes + Green Chilies and Red Gold Roasted Garlic Tomato Paste. Incorporate spices and mix until well combined. Gradually add water until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in 20-second increments. Add the previously set aside garlic cloves by squeezing them out of the skins. Mix in oregano, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper.
- Place the bottom half of the dinner rolls onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with marinara sauce, mozzarella, provolone, another layer of marinara sauce, meatballs, and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Cover with the top half of the rolls and brush with garlic butter.
- Loosely cover the sliders with a sheet of foil and return to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the tops of each slider are slightly browned. Brush the tops with remaining garlic butter, garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.
