How to make the Best Pizza Sliders
Sliders are one of the best easy meal ideas out there. Maybe I should have called them quick and easy pizza sliders? I promise once you get the hang of it, the options are endless and you will be making them mindlessly.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 count) package of Sweet Hawaiian Rolls
- Pepperoni
- Shredded Mozzeralla Cheese
- Shredded Parmesan
- Pizza Sauce, Marinara or Spaghetti Sauce
- Melted Butter
- Oregano
- Garlic Powder
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Dash of Salt
Directions
In a small bowl whisk together the melted butter, oregano, garlic powder, grated parmesan cheese, and salt. Set aside.
Next, in a medium bowl combine both the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Set aside.
Now, take the Hawaiian rolls out of the package in one piece and slice them in half creating a top and bottom slab leaving all the individual rolls together.
Place the bottom slab cut side up in a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish and coat evenly with the pizza sauce. You can use as little or as much as you prefer depending on how saucy you want the sliders.
Next, take the shredded cheese mixture and sprinkle it on top of the pizza sauce followed by a layer of pepperoni. Here’s where you can add extra toppings too like banana peppers, mushrooms, ground sausage or a bit of chopped onion for extra flavor.
Now place the top of the rolls cut side down and brush the rolls generously on the top and sides with the butter mixture.
Lastly, bake the pizza sliders at 350 degrees Fahrenheit covered with foil for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 or until the top is slightly browning and the cheese is melted. Let sit for 5 minutes and eat warm!
These are the best pizza sliders!
