Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the meat mixture 1-2 days ahead and store in the fridge. You can also assemble the entire sliders hours before and bake when needed.
- → What's the best cheese to use?
Any melty cheese works well, including cheddar, provolone, gruyere, or American cheese. Fresh-grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
- → Can I freeze these sliders?
Yes, assemble and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake frozen sliders at 350F for 15-18 minutes until heated through.
- → What can I substitute for Hawaiian rolls?
