Meaty, cheesy goodness... Mmm

A creative and DELICIOUS way to cater for a crowd without spending your whole night in the kitchen

Ingredients:

12 Sasko white hamburger buns
250g mince
2 tbsp butter, melted

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C

2. Cut a hole into each of the hamburger rolls large enough for a meatball to fit on the top of each roll.

9. Place each meatball and a tablespoon of sauce into each bread hole, top with grated mozzarella.

10. Place back in oven and bake until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve & ENJOY!
