For Pizza Sliders:

2 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
3/4 cup pizza sauce
20 slices deli style dry cured pepperoni
1/3 cup salted sweet cream butter

1 tsp dried Italian seasoning

Directions

Crack Chicken Sliders: In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, onion powder, black pepper, and green onion. Add the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined. Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half, layer the chicken mixture, and place the tops of the rolls back on. Brush the tops with butter and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
French Dip Sliders: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and thyme; cook until caramelized. Add garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute. Layer the slider buns with deli roast beef, Swiss cheese, and the caramelized onion mixture. Pour French onion soup over the sliders and top with the bottoms of the buns. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until the cheese melts. Serve with Au Jus.
Pizza Sliders: Layer the bottom half of the Hawaiian rolls with mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, and layers of pepperoni. Place the top half of the rolls back on, brush with butter, and sprinkle with parmesan and Italian seasoning. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until golden and the cheese is bubbly. Serve warm.

How to Store Slider 3 Ways

Tips to Make Slider 3 Ways

For the best flavor, let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for easier mixing.
You can prepare the chicken mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
Customize your sliders with additional toppings like jalapeños, olives, or different kinds of cheese based on your preference.

Variation

You can mix and match ingredients based on what you have at home. Try adding barbecue sauce to the Crack Chicken for a sweet twist or using different types of deli meats and cheeses for the French Dip.
