Hot Italian Sliders (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Bread & Spread

01 - 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls work great)
02 - 3 tbsp mayonnaise
03 - 2 tbsp creamy Italian dressing

→ Meats & Cheese

04 - 12 slices deli ham
05 - 12 large slices pepperoni (from deli)
06 - 12 slices salami
07 - 6 slices provolone cheese

→ Vegetables

08 - ½ cup roasted red peppers, sliced
09 - ½ cup pepperoncini, sliced

→ Butter Topping

10 - ¼ cup butter, melted
11 - 2 tsp Italian seasoning

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F. These loaded Italian sliders are about to become your new favorite party food!
02 - In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Italian dressing until smooth. This creamy mixture adds amazing flavor and helps keep everything moist.
03 - 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.
04 - 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!
05 - 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.
06 - 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.
07 - 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.
08 - 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!

# Notes:

01 - These hot Italian sliders are perfect for parties, game day, or any time you want a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
02 - Hawaiian rolls work especially well because they're soft and slightly sweet, balancing the savory Italian flavors.
03 - The combination of three different meats gives these sliders incredible depth of flavor.
04 - Make sure to get your pepperoni sliced thick at the deli counter for the best texture and flavor.
05 - These can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated, then baked when ready to serve.
