New Meatball Mini Bites Recipes

MEATBALL BITES (MADE WITH CRESCENT DOUGH)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Thaw 24 meatballs in the microwave for one minute at 50% power. It is okay if they are still cold as they will bake with the dough.
• Using a pizza cutter, cut stretched crescent dough sheet into 24 squares (4 rows, 6 columns). Line dough squares in a mini muffin tin pan.
• Add one teaspoon of sauce to each dough square followed by one thawed meatball. Add an additional teaspoon of sauce, and a sprinkling of cheese to each.
• Bake for 11-12 minutes or until golden-brown and cooked through. Cups will have a golden-brown coloring and feel firm to the touch. Top with sprinkling of parsley.

SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS MUFFIN BITES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Drain and toss in a bowl with olive oil; refrigerate until cooled, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Toss cooled spaghetti with 1 cup Parmesan cheese. Divide spaghetti between the 12 prepared muffin cups, arranging noodles in each cup to create "nests" for the meatballs.
• Top each "nest" with 1 tablespoon pasta sauce, 1 meatball, and 1 more tablespoon pasta sauce, respectively. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the tops of each meatball "nest."
• Bake in the preheated oven until pasta and meatballs are heated through and cheese melts, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly before transferring muffin bites to a serving platter.
