Equipment

  • 24 count cupcake tin
  • microwave-safe dish
  • cutting board
  • pizza cutter or knife
  • spoon

Ingredients

  • 24 meatballs cooked from frozen (or fresh)
  • 8 ounces crescent dough sheet
  • ½ cup marinara sauce
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • 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.
