Assemble the sliders

Notes
- Swap the ground beef for ground turkey or ground chicken or even non-meat vegetarian crumbles if desired.
- Use all red bell pepper or all green bell peppers if desired.
- Add jalapeno peppers or crushed red pepper flakes to the meat mixture for a spicier version.
- Use dijon mustard if you'd like.
- Add a teaspoon of onion powder to the melted butter that you brush on the tops of the rolls
- Add a few tablespoons of tomato paste with a little extra water if desired.
- Use any kind of cheese. Pepperjack cheese, provolone cheese, and American cheese are all wonderful options.
