Baking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Keep the rolls connected and slice the whole slab in half horizontally.
- Put the bottom half in a baking dish or on a sheet pan lined with foil.
- Layer the meats evenly on the bottom half.
- Layer the cheese on top of the meats.
- If using, add banana peppers or onions between the layers.
- Replace the top half of the rolls.
- Brush on the garlic butter topping.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 15 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garlic Butter Topping
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and stir in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and grated parmesan if using.
- 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.
