Steps to Prepare Pizza Sliders

Prep – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom of the baking pan.

Prepare – Cut the sliders or buns in half and set the tops aside. Place the bottom half of the rolls in prepared pan and spread with pasta sauce. Top each roll with the pepperoni slices. Slice the fresh mozzarella and place a slice on each roll. Place top half of rolls back on top.

Topping – Mix the remaining ingredients to make the sauce, spread over the tops of the rolls.

Bake – Cover with foil and bake. Serve immediately!

Pro Tips

Add even more pizza flavor by adding cooked sausage. Grab pre-cooked sausage to make it even easier.

When slicing the buns make the bottom of the bun a little thicker to hold up with all the toppings piled in the buns.

Don’t pull apart the rolls then slice if you get the slider buns that are connected. This helps them hold their shape and keep the ingredients inside the buns.

These sliders are done when the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted through.
