  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 slider buns or dinner rolls
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Form the mixture into 12 equal-sized meatballs and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 18–20 minutes until fully cooked.
