Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Flatten each roll into a 5-inch circle. Place 1 teaspoon marinara sauce in the center of each circle. Top with 1 meatball and a piece of string cheese cut in half. Place a piece of cheese on two sides of the meatball. Pull dough up around filling to completely enclose and pinch to seal.

  1. I tried this recipe and it was really good. I made my own meatballs and used my speghetti sauce. So it took longer but if you use the prepared frozen things your prep time is fast. Even making my own meatballs it didn't take to long!
