  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders

Ingredients

– 8 oz shredded lettuce

– 1/2 cup mayonnaise

– 1/4 cup diced red onion

– 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles

– 1/2 cup chopped pickled banana peppers

– 3 tablespoons submarine dressing

– 4 oz deli sliced ham

– 4 oz deli sliced salami

– 4 oz deli sliced pepperoni

– 1 package (12 count) savory butter dinner rolls

– 4 to 6 oz sliced smoked provolone cheese

– Mayonnaise for spreading

– Butter melted for brushing

– Italian seasoning dried

Instructions

1-Gather and Prep Your Ingredients: First off, start by preheating your oven to 400Β°F to get things nice and hot. Slice the 1 package (12 count) savory butter dinner rolls in half horizontally and set the top halves aside for later. This step keeps everything organized and ensures your sliders assemble smoothly.

2-Gather and Prep Your Ingredients: Next, spread mayonnaise on the cut sides of the bottom bun halves and place them in an oven-safe tray or a 9Γ—13-inch baking dish. I love how this adds a creamy base that ties all the flavors together don’t skip it!

3-Cook the Meats and Mix the Topping: While the buns are baking for 7 to 10 minutes until they’re golden brown, chop up the 4 oz deli sliced ham, 4 oz deli sliced salami, and 4 oz deli sliced pepperoni, then heat them in a skillet over medium heat until they’re warmed through. This gives the meats that irresistible savory punch that makes these sliders pop.

4-Cook the Meats and Mix the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the salad topping: 8 oz shredded lettuce, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup diced red onion, 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles, 1/2 cup chopped pickled banana peppers, and 3 tablespoons submarine dressing (or the substitute of 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, and 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning). It’s like creating a fresh, crunchy surprise for the end!

5-Assemble and Bake: Once the buns are out of the oven, layer 4 to 6 oz sliced smoked provolone cheese evenly over the toasted bottoms, followed by the warmed chopped meat mixture. Pop the reserved top bun halves back on, then brush them generously with melted butter mixed with Italian seasoning.

6-Assemble and Bake: Bake everything for another 5 to 7 minutes to melt that cheese just right.

Notes

🍞 Toasting the bottom buns prevents sogginess and enhances texture.
πŸ₯— Use the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Italian seasoning mix if submarine dressing isn’t available.
⏰ Assemble sliders no more than one hour before serving to keep buns fresh and crisp.
