Meatball Pepperoni Pizza Sliders
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (12-count) slider buns
- 1 package frozen Italian-style beef meatballs, thawed and thinly sliced
- ¾ cup pizza sauce, plus more for dipping
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 30–35 pepperoni slices
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Keeping the rolls connected, slice them in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish and set the tops aside.
- Arrange the sliced meatballs evenly over the rolls. Spoon the pizza sauce over the meatballs, then sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella.
- Layer the pepperoni over the cheese and top with the remaining mozzarella.
- Bake uncovered for 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is hot.
- Meanwhile, stir together the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Place the tops of the rolls over the filling and generously brush them with the garlic butter.
- Return the sliders to the oven and bake for another 5–7 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
- Sprinkle the warm sliders with Parmesan cheese. Slice into individual sliders and serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
