Cheesy Meatball Bites - Butter With A Side of Bread

Ingredients:
1 can (8 oz.) crescent rolls
1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
About 1/2 c. marinara sauce
12 meatballs (can use pre-made frozen ones)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a regular size muffin pan with non-stick spray.

Unroll crescent dough.  Separate into 2 large sections along the perforated edge.  Cut each of the 2 large sections into thirds, then divide those sections down the middle, so that you have 12 squares total.

Press each square into one of the muffin cups, doing your best to smooth the dough around the cup and a little up the sides.

Spoon about 2 tsp. marinara sauce into the bottom of each cup.  Follow with a small spoonful of mozzarella cheese.  Place 1 meatball (can still be frozen) into the center of each cup.  Spoon another 2 tsp. marinara sauce on top of each meatball, then finish with another sprinkling of mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the crescent dough is golden brown and cheese is bubbling.  Remove from oven.  Let cool a few minutes, then remove each meatball bite from the muffin pan.  Serve with additional marinara sauce, if desired.
