Enjoy these at any time of day, whether you are rushing out the door, or need to take something to a potluck, or were in charge of appetizers. These are so easy and will be your go-to! Is that not awesome? With 4 ingredients and just 20 minutes, you can have the perfect appetizer or meal. That is a win in my book! Check out what our friends over at Butter With A Side Of Bread had to say about this recipe:
“My family LOVES meatballs! It’s strange and awesome and more strange, but I go with it because they’re easy and they have protein. Only 4 ingredients and just over 20 minutes and these Cheesy Meatball Bites are ready.”
Ingredients
1 8-oz can Pillsbury Crescent rolls
1 cup shredded Kraft mozzarella cheese
about ½ cup marinara sauce
12 meatballs (I used pre-made, frozen ones)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a regular sized muffin pan with non-stick spray.
Unroll crescent dough. Separate into 2 large sections along the perforated edge. Cut each of the 2 large sections into thirds, then divide those sections down the middle, so that you have 12 squares total. (See video- it’s much easier shown!)
Press each square into one of the muffin cups, doing your best to press down into the cup and somewhat up the edges.
Spoon about 2 teaspoons of marinara sauce into the bottom of each cup. Follow with a small spoonful of mozzarella cheese. Place 1 meatball (they can be frozen still, no need to pre-thaw!) into the center of each cup. Spoon another 2 teaspoons of marinara sauce on top of the meatball, then finish with another sprinkling of mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, until crescent dough is golden brown and cheese is bubbling. Remove from oven. Let cool a few minutes, then remove each meatball bite from the muffin pan. Serve with additional marinara sauce, if desired.

We don’t really want to read a book before we get to the recipe
You don’t have to read anything you don’t want, too, Colleen 🙂
Can you make ahead of time and bake just before serving??
