Ingredients

  • 24 frozen Rhodes dinner rolls
  • 26 ounce bag frozen meatballs
  • 1 18 oz bottle barbecue sauce
  • 1 14 ounce can cranberry sauce (not the jellied)
  • 8 ounce wheel brie cheese, with rind cut off and cheese cut into 24 strips

Instructions

  • Spray 24 cups of a muffin pan with nonstick spray. Add a roll to each one. Spray two large pieces of plastic wrap with nonstick spray and lightly cover the rolls (with the sprayed side touching the rolls). Place in a warm spot and allow to rise until just above the top of the muffin well. This will take two to four hours.
  • While the rolls are rising, add barbecue sauce and cranberry sauce to a crockpot. Stir well then add meatballs. Stir again. Cook on low for two to four hours, until heated through.
  • Once rolls have risen, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Press down in the center of each roll then press up the sides to create a cup shape in the muffin pan. Place a meatball with a little bit of sauce in each bread cup. Top each with a chunk of brie. Bake for 16 to 19 minutes, until lightly golden.
