Step-by-Step Instructions for Pull-Apart Meatball Sliders

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Italian herbs, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix until just combined and form into 12 meatballs.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook meatballs for 8-10 minutes until browned.
Cut slider rolls in half and place bottom halves in a greased baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over the bottom halves.
Place cooked meatballs on marinara sauce and drizzle more sauce over them. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Mix melted butter, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Brush over sliders.
Cover with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes. Then remove foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with parsley before serving cold from the dish.

Notes

Allow sliders to cool for a few minutes after baking for easier slicing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
