Ingredients
15 fresh basil leaves
15 mini pretzel slider rolls
2 cups prepared tomato sauce
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt/pepper
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar

Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out balls of sausage mixture onto a rimmed non-stick baking sheet. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.
Note: Heat slider rolls and tomato sauce while meatballs are cooking.
While meatballs are cooking: Add red cabbage into a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together vinegar and sugar until combined. Season with salt/pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil until combined. Pour over cabbage. Set aside.
When meatballs have finished cooking transfer them to tomato sauce pot. Turn to coat.
