1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Take frozen Italian meatballs and place them in a saucepan with Rayo's marinara sauce to heat them up.

3

4

Chop fresh parsley and set it aside for later use.

5

Cut a small cube of cream cheese and tuck it into the hole of each sweet roll.

6

Mix half a stick of butter with half a teaspoon of garlic powder and brush this mixture inside and outside of the sweet rolls.

7

Place the stuffed sweet rolls in the oven for about 10 minutes to create a crust.

After 10 minutes, add more marinara sauce to the meatballs and place them back into the rolls.

Top with mozzarella cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted and creamy.
