Are There Slider Variations?

There are hundreds of variations for sliders, but here are a few of my favorites.

• roast beef, swiss cheese, caramelized onions, horseradish
• buffalo chicken, blue cheese dressing
• cheeseburger, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, thousand island dressing
• barbecue pork, creamy slaw, bbq sauce
• fried chicken, pimento cheese, pickles, mayo

Recipe Tips and FAQs

• Use a hearty mini roll, such as brioche, that will hold up to all the fillings.
• Shredded cheese works, but sliced cheese is easier to manage.
• Purchase an Italian deli package with a variety of meats. It will save a ton of money.
• Brush the rolls with butter, but don't drench them. These rolls already have a high butter content.
