How to Make Pizza Supreme Sliders
These sliders come together quickly with just a few steps:
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Assemble the Sliders
Slice the slider rolls horizontally without separating them into individual rolls. Place the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the bottom rolls. Layer with mozzarella cheese, followed by pepperoni, sausage, and your choice of veggies like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and black olives. Add another layer of cheese on top, then place the top halves of the rolls over the fillings.
Step 3: Add the Butter Topping
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls.
Step 4: Bake
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
Step 5: Serve
Let the sliders cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing them into individual portions. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
Storage Options
These sliders are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored and reheated:
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Wrap individual sliders tightly in foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
Variations and Substitutions
The beauty of Pizza Supreme Sliders is their flexibility. Here are some fun ways to switch things up:
- Vegetarian Sliders: Skip the meats and load up on veggies like spinach, artichokes, or roasted red peppers.
- Meat Lovers’ Sliders: Add crumbled bacon or diced ham for an extra-protein-packed version.
- Spicy Sliders: Use spicy Italian sausage and add jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for a kick.
- Cheese Lovers’ Sliders: Add layers of cheddar, provolone, or gouda alongside the mozzarella.
- Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free slider rolls to accommodate dietary restrictions.
Perfect for Any Occasion
