Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb. Italian sausage mild, ground
  • 1 oz. Parmesan Cheese
  • 12 count package King's Hawaiian Rolls
  • 12 oz. jar pizza sauce
  • 6-9 lices mozzarella cheese more slices = gooey cheesy slider
  • 28 lices pepperoni
  • 6-9 lices provolone cheese not smoked flavor, more slices = gooey cheesy slider

For the butter mixture

  • 1/4 cup butter melted, unsalted
  • 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder or garlic salt if you like salty!
  • chili flakes pinch, optional

Garnish

  • parsley fresh
  • hot honey
  • marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or a baking sheet with nonstick spray or spread with a little softened butter, the butter helps make the bottom of the rolls nice and crisp (and not soggy!) Set aside. 
  2. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks. This will take ~5-7 minutes. Once cooked, drain on paper towels to get rid of excess grease. You could probably break the meat up smaller than I've shown in my photos 😆
  3. Add the sausage to a bowl and stir in ¼ cup of the pizza sauce and about 1 oz. grated parmesan cheese. Making the sausage a little saucy makes it a little easier to layer/stick onto the sliders. Set aside. 
  4. Without separating the rolls, cut them in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared dish or baking sheet.
  5. Layer the remaining ingredients in this order: a layer of pizza sauce (no more than 1/2 cup because too much sauce will make them soggy) and mozzarella cheese.
  6. Pepperoni and then sausage.
  7. Provolone cheese and the top rolls. Try to place everything in an even layer, and don't let the cheese hang off the sides of the rolls too much or the cheese might ooze out when melted.
  8. Combine the melted butter and seasonings.
  9. Brush/pour the butter mixture on top of the rolls.
  10. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes Start Timer; uncover and bake a few minutes longer until the tops are golden and pizza sliders look melty. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve straight away with warmed marinara and hot honey for drizzling. Dig in! Grab a napkin because they can get messy 😏
