Notes
- You can make the cream cheese mixture ahead of time. But I recommend preparing and baking the sliders right before serving them for the best taste and texture. You can make the cream cheese mixture up to 3 days before making the sliders. Simply store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container, until you’re ready to use it.
- You can serve the sliders cold, if you prefer. Simply omit the Italian seasoned butter topping. After you’ve assembled the rolls, just slice them into sliders and serve them. If serving them cold, you can add shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced onions and sliced tomatoes on top of the provolone, if you’d like.
- Plan to serve 2 or 3 Italian sliders per person, if making these into a meal. If serving these as an appetizer with other dishes, I would plan for 1 slider per person, as they’re pretty filling!
- It’s easy to double this recipe, simply by making a second casserole dish of sliders. Just click the 2X button above. The ingredient amounts will automatically update to double the recipe.
