Heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Cut each of the 12 Hawaiian rolls in half and place the bottom halves of the rolls into the pan.
12 Hawaiian rolls
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the bottom buns.
2 cups shredded mozzarella
Combine pasta sauce and meatballs in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low to medium heat for about 10 minutes, until warmed through.
12 pre-cooked meatballs, 2 cups pasta sauce
Remove from heat and place meatballs on the slider bottoms (one meatball per roll).
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce over the top of each meatball.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and a bit more pasta sauce over the meatballs. Discard any leftover sauce.
Place the top buns on the sliders. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Brush the butter mixture on the tops of the slider buns.
3 tbsp butter, ½ tbsp Italian seasoning, 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese
Bake for 10 minutes, then tent the sliders with foil to avoid over browning the tops. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Cut the rolls apart with a knife and serve.

Be careful not to spoon too much sauce over the meatballs or you could end up with soggy sliders. You won’t use all of the sauce.
