Slow Cooker Method

  • Add all the sauce and meatball ingredients to the slow cooker and gently stir to combine.
  • Place cover on the cooker and set to LOW for 6 hours, or HIGH for 2-3 hours.

Stovetop Method:

  • To a large, heavy bottomed saucepan add all the ingredients to the pot and gently stir to combine.
  • Bring ingredients to a boil over MED-HIGH heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until thickened and meatballs are heated thru. Stir sauce occasionally while it simmers.

Assemble the Sliders

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Place bottom of slider rolls in 9x13 baking pan. Place one meatball and a tablespoon of sauce on each bun. Sprinkle cheese over meatballs and cover with top of bun.
  • Melt the butter, garlic and parmesan together either in the microwave or a small saucepan on the stove. Stir to combine. Brush butter mixture over the top of the rolls.
  • Cover pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes, removing foil during the last 5 minutes. They're done when the cheese is melted and sliders are heated thru. Serve with any remaining sauce.
