Ingredients
  

For the Sliders
  • 20 meatballs Frozen Meatballs These provide a hearty, savory base and save you precious time in the kitchen!
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce Adds delicious moisture and flavor; go for your favorite brand to elevate taste.
  • 8 slices Mozzarella Cheese A must for creating those melty 'fangs'; get creative with cheeses like provolone for a twist.
  • 16 pieces Black Olives Repurposed as playful 'eyeballs,' these add a fun and cohesive theme; swap for green olives for a pop of color!
  • 8 buns Slider Buns The soft, pillowy texture holds it all together; consider gluten-free options or lettuce wraps for a healthier choice.

Equipment

  • toothpicks

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for HALLOWEEN MONSTER MEATBALL SLIDERS
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the frozen meatballs with your chosen marinara sauce. Stir gently to coat the meatballs and let them simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re heated through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. While the meatballs are heating, take a block of mozzarella cheese and slice it into jagged triangles, mimicking the appearance of spooky fangs.
  3. Once the meatballs are ready, slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place a meatball on the bottom half of each bun, draping a slice of mozzarella cheese over the top.
  4. To transform your HALLOWEEN MONSTER MEATBALL SLIDERS into delightful creatures, stab pitted black olives onto toothpicks and stick them into the cheese on each meatball.
  5. Finally, place the tops of the slider buns over the meatballs, securing everything together. Arrange the sliders on a festive platter for your guests.
