Cheesy Meatball Sliders

Summer may not be officially over but summer schedules definitely are. It's back to school, back to work, back to real life. And that also means back to meal planning for quick and easy dinner ideas.

Meatballs are one of my favorite make ahead entrees. I cook up a large batch on Sundays and they keep beautifully for a few days in the fridge. All I have to do is make a salad and maybe a side of spaghetti. But easier still is to just serve them on slider rolls with plenty of melted cheese and some salad or coleslaw on the side. Dinner is done in a hurry but, more importantly, it's absolutely delicious. Remember to use a mixture of beef and pork to get the most tender meatballs ever. Enjoy!
