Italian Meatball Buns image

These soft little rolls come with a surprise inside-savory Italian meatballs. They're wonderful dipped in marinara sauce, making them fun for my grandkids and adults, too. I love how easy they are to put together. -Trina Linder-Mobley, Clover, South Carolina

I'm not a huge fan of meatballs, but these were really good! The combination of beef, pork, and veal was perfect, and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.
