Description

These sliders are a warm, cheesy delight made with deli meats and cheese, all baked together on soft Hawaiian rolls for a crowd-pleasing dish.


Ingredients

Slider Ingredients

  • 1 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls (12 count) (These are fluffy and slightly sweet.)
  • 12-16 ounces Deli meats (salami, pepperoni, ham) (Use a mix of spicy, salty, and smoky meats.)
  • 8-12 slices Sliced cheese (provolone and mozzarella) (Provolone for flavor, mozzarella for melt.)
  • 1 jar Marinara sauce (For dipping or layering.)
  • 4 tablespoons Butter (For topping.)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (Or use 1-2 cloves of fresh minced garlic.)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (For added flavor.)
  • 2 tablespoons Grated parmesan (Optional but recommended for topping.)
  • Optional toppings (banana peppers, sliced red onion, roasted red peppers) (Add for extra flavor.)


Instructions

Baking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Keep the rolls connected and slice the whole slab in half horizontally.
  3. Put the bottom half in a baking dish or on a sheet pan lined with foil.
  4. Layer the meats evenly on the bottom half.
  5. Layer the cheese on top of the meats.
  6. If using, add banana peppers or onions between the layers.
  7. Replace the top half of the rolls.
  8. Brush on the garlic butter topping.
  9. Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 15 minutes.
  10. Uncover and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  11. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Garlic Butter Topping

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and stir in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and grated parmesan if using.
  2. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the rolls.

Notes

For best results, keep marinara sauce on the side to avoid soggy sliders. Use a sharp knife to cut directly down after letting the sliders rest.
