Hot Italian Sliders Ingredients: - 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls work great) - 3 tbsp mayonnaise - 2 tbsp creamy Italian dressing - 12 slices deli ham - 12 large slices pepperoni (from deli) - 12 slices salami - 6 slices provolone cheese - ½ cup roasted red peppers, sliced - ½ cup pepperoncini, sliced - ¼ cup butter, melted - 2 tsp Italian seasoning Instructions: 1. Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F. These loaded Italian sliders are about to become your new favorite party food! 2. Make the Spread: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Italian dressing until smooth. This creamy mixture adds amazing flavor and helps keep everything moist. 3. Prep the Buns: Slice your slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet or in a baking dish, and set the tops aside for now. 4. Add the Spread: Spread the mayo and Italian dressing mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Don't skip this step - it's what makes these sliders extra delicious! 5. Layer the Meats: Start building your Italian masterpiece! Layer each bottom bun with a slice of ham, followed by the pepperoni, then the salami. The combination of these three meats is what makes these sliders so special. 6. Add Cheese and Veggies: Top each stack with half a slice of provolone cheese (or a full slice if you want extra cheesy). Add some roasted red peppers and pepperoncini on top of the cheese for that authentic Italian flavor. 7. Complete and Top: Place the top buns over the fillings. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with Italian seasoning, then brush this mixture generously over the tops of all the sliders. 8. Bake Until Hot: Cover the entire pan with aluminum foil and bake for 18-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through. Remove the foil, brush with more butter if you like, and serve hot!
