Meatball Subcakes

BOOM! Just like that your kids (of all ages) think you're amazing! Almost a meal, these meatball-laden bites are warm and cheesy for your next gathering. I often make these for football game watch nights or as a quick meal that I know the kids will devour.

Meatball SubCakes Ingredients: 1 can refrigerated crescent dough sheet 4-oz. cream cheese, softened ¾ tsp. Italian seasoning 1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese 12 frozen meatballs, ½ oz. or 1 oz. type 1 ¼ c. spaghetti sauce

Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 12 muffin pan cups with cooking spray. 2. Remove dough from can and spread into a rectangle. Use a pizza cutter to cut dough into 12 equal-sized squares. Press squares into the bottom of the muffin pan cups. 3. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, seasoning and ½ c. mozzarella cheese. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Spread on the bottom with a spoon. 4. Place a meatball on top of the cheese mixture. Spoon 2 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce onto the top of each meatball. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top. 5. Bake 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Apron Strings Tips: If you have the regular crescent rolls, press the edges together to form a large rectangle roughly 8”x18” before you cut it. The taste can vary based on the type of frozen meatballs you purchase and you can play around a bit with the flavor of spaghetti sauce you select. These are best eaten after you bake them.
