Make these easy grinder sliders for your next gathering. This recipe uses Hawaiian rolls, deli meats, and cheese, baked with a savory garlic butter glaze, making them perfect game day sandwiches or quick dinner fare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 count) package sweet Hawaiian rolls
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced ham
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced salami
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced pepperoni
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced provolone cheese
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Layer the meats evenly over the bottom half of the rolls: ham, salami, and pepperoni.
  4. Layer the cheeses evenly over the meats: provolone and mozzarella.
  5. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and salt to create the garlic butter glaze.
  7. Slowly and evenly drizzle the garlic butter glaze over the top of the assembled sliders.
  8. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
  11. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the rolls. Serve immediately as crowd pleasing appetizers.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a thin layer of mayonnaise or mustard to the bottom rolls before adding the meat.
  • If you do not have Hawaiian rolls, use any soft slider bun and adjust baking time as needed.
  • These sliders are excellent for tailgating food; assemble them ahead of time and bake them on site.
