How to make easy Italian Sliders
These mini sandwiches are easy to assemble and to make it even EASIER, I've got step by step direction for you!
Step 1: Prep your slider buns.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Keeping the 12 rolls together, use a serrated knife to cut the Hawaiian rolls in half, creating a top and a bottom.
Put the bottom half of the buns in an oven safe pan.
Step 2: Layer, layer and then - layer.
Layer half the cheese, then all of the onions and meats on the bottom half of rolls. Add another layer of cheese. Place remaining half of rolls on top.
Pour salad dressing on top of bread, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Note: If you want to add a little extra spice, you can sprinkle some red pepper flakes on the top before baking!
Step 3: Bake the sliders
Cover with foil and bake, 15 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted. Remove foil and cook for 5 more minutes.
Step 4: Wait a few minutes
Cheese and meat right from oven tends to have a molten lava like quality. Allow your sandwiches to cool slightly. Cut & devour.
