Ingredients Notes

The magic of these sliders lies in their simple yet flavorful ingredients. Each component adds a layer of taste that makes this recipe truly irresistible.

Start with Hawaiian rolls or another pack of soft, pull-apart slider buns. These rolls provide the perfect base, soaking up the sauce without getting soggy. Their slight sweetness complements the savory toppings beautifully.

For the sauce, classic pizza sauce is your best bet. It’s already seasoned with herbs like oregano and basil, giving you a flavorful shortcut. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can use homemade marinara or even experiment with spicy arrabbiata for an extra kick.

The toppings are where the fun begins. Pepperoni and Italian sausage are the stars of the show, bringing bold, meaty flavors. Don’t forget the bell peppers and onions—they add freshness and a slight crunch, balancing out the richness of the meat and cheese.

Speaking of cheese, go for a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan. The mozzarella melts into gooey perfection, while the Parmesan adds a sharp, salty edge. If you love extra cheesy sliders, sprinkle a bit more on top before baking.

Finally, you’ll need butter and some garlic powder for the finishing touch. Brushing this mixture over the rolls before baking adds a golden, garlicky crust that takes these sliders over the top.

How To Make These Pizza Supreme Sliders

Creating these sliders is as simple as layering your favorite pizza toppings into soft rolls and baking them to perfection. Here’s how to do it:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. While the oven heats up, slice your rolls in half horizontally, keeping the bottom and top halves intact. Place the bottom halves in a baking dish or on a sheet pan.

Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the bottom rolls. Be sure to cover the edges so that every bite is packed with flavor.

Next, layer on your toppings. Start with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella, followed by slices of pepperoni, cooked Italian sausage, diced bell peppers, and onions. Add another layer of mozzarella and a light dusting of Parmesan for good measure.

Place the top halves of the rolls back on. Melt the butter and mix it with garlic powder, then brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls. For extra flavor, sprinkle on a pinch of Italian seasoning or grated Parmesan.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes to let the tops turn golden brown. Once done, let the sliders cool slightly before slicing into individual portions.

In under 30 minutes, you’ll have a tray of ooey-gooey Pizza Supreme Sliders ready to devour.

Storage Options

If you have leftovers (a rare occurrence!), these sliders store beautifully. Transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

To reheat, simply pop them in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes until warmed through. For a quicker option, use the microwave, though the rolls might lose some of their crispness.

If you’re planning ahead, you can even assemble the sliders a day in advance. Cover the dish tightly with foil and refrigerate. When you’re ready to serve, bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to account for the chilled ingredients.

Variations and Substitutions

The beauty of these sliders is how adaptable they are. Here are a few ideas to switch things up:

• Vegetarian Option: Skip the meat and load up on veggies like mushrooms, spinach, and olives. A drizzle of pesto adds a delicious twist.
• Spicy Sliders: Use spicy Italian sausage or add a layer of sliced jalapeños for heat.
• Different Cheeses: Experiment with provolone, cheddar, or even a spicy pepper jack for a unique flavor.
• Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free rolls and double-check that your pizza sauce is gluten-free.
• Breakfast Sliders: Swap the pizza toppings for scrambled eggs, cooked bacon, and cheddar cheese for a morning treat.

The possibilities are endless, so don’t be afraid to get creative. However you make them, these Pizza Supreme Sliders are sure to disappear in record time.
