Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, parmesan, egg, onion soup mix, garlic powder, oregano, and pepper until well combined, do not overmix.
- Divide the mixture into 12 portions and roll into balls. Place on the prepared sheet tray, allowing room between each meatball.
- Bake the meatballs for 10-15 minutes or until an internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165°F.
- While the meatballs are baking, cook the spaghetti per the package directions.
- Place the cooked noodles into a large bowl with the marinara sauce and parmesan cheese, stir to combine.
- Slice the rolls in half lengthwise and place the bottom, cut side up into the prepared baking dish.
- Add the spaghetti on top of the rolls, then place one meatball onto each slider.
- Add the mozzarella on top of the meatballs.
- Top with the top of the rolls.
- In a small bowl, stir together the butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brush this all over the tops of the rolls.

- Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
