Ingredients

Rolls and Butter Mixture

  • 12 King’s Hawaiian Rolls (savory butter flavored)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon parsley flakes

Filling

  • 12 cocktail wieners (or regular wieners cut to fit)
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1.5 oz mini pepperoni slices (or sliced mini pepperoni sticks)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare Rolls: Separate all the King's Hawaiian rolls. Using a knife, cut two slits in the top of each roll and remove the piece of bread in between to create a slot for the cocktail wiener.
  3. Arrange Rolls in Dish: Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray and place the prepared rolls upright in the dish.
  4. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley flakes, stirring well to mix.
  5. Brush Rolls: Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of each roll to add flavor and help browning.
  6. Add Wieners: Insert a cocktail wiener into the slot of each roll.
  7. Add Pizza Sauce: Spoon approximately ¼ cup of pizza sauce evenly over each wiener.
  8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza sauce on each slider.
  9. Add Pepperoni: Place mini pepperoni slices on top of the cheese layer on each slider.
  10. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the buns are nicely toasted and golden brown.
  11. Serve: Remove sliders from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use savory-flavored King's Hawaiian rolls for the best taste, but plain rolls will also work.
  • Cutting regular-sized wieners to fit is an excellent alternative if cocktail wieners are unavailable.
  • Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly to get a nicely toasted top on the rolls.
  • You can customize toppings by adding olives, onions, or different types of cheese if desired.
  • Serve with extra pizza sauce or mustard for dipping if preferred.
  • These sliders are best served warm right after baking for the meltiest cheese experience.
