Buddy loves to cook, so I’m always looking for fun and easy recipes to make with him. When I came across the recipe for Meatball Sub Cupcakes on Plain Chicken’s blog, I knew it would be a great one for us. It’s easy to make, and definitely kid friendly.
To start, I preheated the oven to 375 degrees. Then I opened up a can of croissant rolls and laid them on a baking sheet. Buddy and I used our fingers to press the seams together. Then, I used a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 12 equally sized pieces. 
Next, I sprayed PAM to grease a cupcake pan. Then, Buddy and I pressed the dough into each of the cupcake tins. We tried to make the dough as square shaped as we could before putting into the pan.
After that, we mixed up a cheese mixture to go into each piece of dough. We stirred together 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 3/4 tsp Italian seasoning, and 4 oz shredded mozzarella. Buddy and I took turns mixing, and then we put a scoop on top of each piece of dough. 
Next, we put a frozen meatball on top of each section. Then we added some pizza sauce and put more mozzarella cheese on top. 
Our mini meatball subs cooked for about 20 minutes, until they were golden brown and the cheese was melted.
Once they cooled a bit, I used a flexible spatula to scoop them out. Everyone in my house loved them! Buddy and I will definitely make them again.
