5: Place the meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving room between each.
6: Bake meatballs for 15 minutes until golden brown.

13: Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray.
14: Return sliders to the oven until the cheese is melted and the rolls are toasted, about 15-20 minutes.
