Italian Night with Carando® Italian Meatballs and Galbani® Mozzarella Cheese

Today I’m cooking Italian! It’s one of my favorite cuisines. Growing up, Italian night at my house always meant spaghetti and meatballs. As an adult, I’ve gotten a bit more adventurous and try new dishes to keep Italian night fresh! For our most recent Italian night, I made yummy Meatball Sliders with Carando® Italian Meatballs and Galbani® Ricotta and Mozzarella Cheese that I picked up at my local Kroger!  

Below I’m sharing five reasons why I love this dish and why you will too!

Taste

First things first, these Carando Meatball Sliders with Galbani Mozzarella Cheese taste amazing! Each bite is full of flavor and they’re honestly hard to put down. TheCarando Meatballs come blended with herbs and Parmesan, and while cooking, I added:

• Roasted garlic seasoning
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• A dash of Worcestershire sauce. 

For this recipe, each cooked meatball is placed on a single dinner role. I pressed down the center to give each meatball a place to “sit.” Before placing each meatball onto the roll, I added a small amount of pasta sauce. 

For the sauce, I chose to use my favorite pasta sauce straight out of the jar! I lightly covered each meatball with the sauce and added the Galbani Mozzarella Cheese. After buttering the tops of the dinner rolls, I placed them into the oven for about 10-15 mins (or until cheese melts and rolls brown). Of course, you want to let these cool for a bit before eating them, but when you do, I’m sure you are going to love them!

Simplicity

I love that this dish only includes four main ingredients. Sure you can add things to spice it up, but the fact that it doesn’t take much to put this dish together is great for those of us who like to keep things simple. There is not a bunch to clean afterwards, and outside of cooking the meatballs, the dish can easily be prepared in just one pan. 

Time Saving

Once I became a mom, I realized I had to be very intentional with my time. Once I added in being an entrepreneur, I had to be even more mindful of my time. Nowadays I appreciate efficiency and these Meatball Sliders are perfect for days when you are short on time, or when you need to maximize your time to devote to something else. The fact that the Carando Meatballs come already formed and separated into little balls makes life so much easier. 

Affordability

Right now you can save $2 when you purchase ONE (1) Galbani® Ricotta 15 oz. or Mozzarella Cheese 16 oz. AND Carando® Abruzzese Italian Meatballs 16 oz. from your local Kroger grocery store! I love that for this dish, I can get real deal, authentically Italian ingredients that won’t break the bank. 

Entertaining

Not only are these Meatball Sliders great for those quick, family dinners, but they are also perfect for entertaining. They work well for birthday parties, holiday celebrations, as tailgating snacks, etc. and they can be served as appetizers, or the main attraction. 

The next time you’re looking to entertain guests, save time in the kitchen, or simply enjoy Italian night with authentic ingredients (at great value), be sure to stop in your local Kroger and grab Carando Meatballs and Galbani Ricotta and Mozzarella Cheese!
