6.Leave the meatballs in the pan and pour tomato sauce ontop. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
7.To serve place 1 meatball on the bottom of a slider. Top with 1 slice of mozzarella cheese. Place under the broiler on high until cheese has fully melted and starts to brown. Top with fresh basil if desired and the top of the slider bun.
