Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated Immaculate Baking Co.™ Organic Flaky Biscuits (8 Count)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
  • 1/3 cup marinara sauce (from 24-oz jar)
  • 16 frozen Italian-style beef meatballs (1/2 oz each), thawed
  • 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 16 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Separate dough into 8 biscuits; separate each biscuit into 2 layers. Place biscuit halves in sprayed muffin cups, pressing to cover bottom and slightly up sides of cups.
  • 3
    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese in each biscuit-lined cup. Spoon 1 teaspoon marinara sauce over cheese in each cup.
  • 4
    Press 1 meatball into sauce and cheese mixture in each cup. Top each meatball with about 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.
  • 5
    Bake 18 to 22 minutes until biscuits are deep golden brown and meatballs are hot (at least 165°F in center). Cool 5 minutes in pan; remove from pan with metal spatula.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    We use frozen meatballs to make these easy Meatball Sub Bites. Thawing the meatballs before baking allows them to heat through during baking without overcooking the biscuits.
  • tip 2
    Want to give your sub bites a pop of color? Top them with a chiffonade of fresh basil leaves!
  • tip 3
    Remember to spray your muffin cups with cooking spray prior to building your Meatball Sub Bites, and keep the cheese tidy—both will help keep the bites from sticking to the pan. If they do stick, run a metal spatula around the edges of each biscuit, and they should slide right out.
