I remember making little slider sandwiches many years ago using Pepperidge Farm Party Rolls that came in a little aluminum foil pan and it called for a butter paste combination that was spread on the inside of the rolls, the meat and cheese fillings were added, then baked. Over the years the rolls have since been discontinued, now the butter combination is melted and poured over the tops and the variety of sliders has exploded with many different options...

I remember making little slider sandwiches many years ago using Pepperidge Farm Party Rolls that came in a little aluminum foil pan and it called for a butter paste combination that was spread on the inside of the rolls, the meat and cheese fillings were added, then baked. Over the years the rolls have since been discontinued, now the butter combination is melted and poured over the tops and the variety of sliders has exploded with many different options.

Today I am sharing several different slider recipes. These little sandwiches are nice for any kind of parties, bridal or baby showers, brunch, sports game get-togethers, or family meals on busy evenings that are on-the-go.

Once you have the basic knowledge of how to assemble a slider, the possibilities are vast, so give these a try and have fun creating your own. Enjoy!

Chicken Cordon Bleu Sliders

A handy and delicious twist on the traditional Chicken Cordon Bleu! These sliders have all the traditional flavors but are easier to make, plus they're incredibly delicious!

  • 1 package of tray buns
  • 8 to 10 chicken fingers, cut in half horizontally *see notes
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley, dried
  • Pinch of thyme, dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or minced
  • 12 slices deli ham
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

If the chicken fingers are raw, precook them according to the package instructions.

Slice the tray buns in half, horizontally.

Mix the butter, parsley, thyme, and garlic together. Melt. Dab the butter on top of the chicken fingers to add more flavor before baking. Also, dab the butter on the surface of the bottom tray buns. Lay the cooked chicken fingers on the bottom layer of the tray buns.

Add four slices of cheese to cover the fingers. Add the deli ham slices. Cover the ham with the remaining cheese slices.

Place the top of the tray buns on top of the cheese slices. Using the remaining butter mixture, brush the tops of the buns.

Roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tops are nice and golden brown, and the cheese is nicely melted.

Let rest a few minutes after removing from the oven and be careful as the cheese is extremely hot!

Notes: It's necessary to precook the chicken tenders if they are raw so that you can be sure the chicken has been fully cooked through.

If you purchase already cooked fingers that need only to be warmed.

Breakfast Sliders

With sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, and plenty of cheese, these breakfast sliders make a filling morning meal!

  • 20 ounces pork sausage
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 12 dinner rolls
  • 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 5 tablespoons salted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Squeeze the pork sausage onto a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking pan and form it into a rectangle a little larger than the size of your dinner rolls rectangle. It will shrink down while cooking. Bake this for 25 minutes or until cooked through.

While this is cooking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the strips of bacon on the sheet. Bake this for 10 minutes or until crispy.

Whisk the eggs together with the milk, chives, and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet and pour in the egg mixture. Stir often until the eggs are just cooked (about five minutes).

Keep the dinner rolls attached in one block. Slice through the whole block. Place the bottom of the buns onto a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking pan or glass dish. Set the tops aside.

When the sausage, bacon, and eggs are cooked, we can begin assembly.

Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese evenly over the bottom buns. Place the sausage (as one large block if possible) onto the cheese layer. Place the scrambled eggs over the sausage. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle this over the eggs. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the bacon. Place the block of bun tops over the layer of cheese.

Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and stir in the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Brush this mixture over the buns.

Bake the sliders for 10 to 15 minutes or until the tops are golden.

Italian Sausage Meatball Sliders

Italian Sausage Meatball Sliders have flavors of zesty marinara, yummy Parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses all wrapped up in a toasty warm bun.

  • 1 package of tray buns
  • 12 Italian sausage meatballs
  • 1 cup of marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups of Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Sear the meatballs you plan on using according to what type you have.

With a sharp paring knife, cut holes in the top of the tray bun big enough to fit the meatball. One hole per bun. Then with your finger, push down the center, squishing the bread, making a 'bed' for the meatball to sit on.

Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly into each hole of each bun. With a small spoon, dollop the marinara sauce into each hole, on top of the cheese. Place one meatball into the hole of each bun.

Baste each meatball with more marinara sauce.

In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and the remaining Parmesan cheese, along with the Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the meatballs.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the cheese is melty and gooey and the buns are heated through.

Remove from the oven and let rest a few minutes before serving.

Cheesy Roast Beef Sliders with Au Jus Dipping Sauce

Melty, cheesy sliders with a seasoned savory beef filling are incredibly delicious served for any occasion! The au jus dipping gravy takes them over the top and makes this Cheesy Roast Beef Sliders recipe one that the family and friends will ask for again and again.

  • 1 to 2 pounds beef roast, shredded (see notes below)
  • 1 dozen tray buns
  • 6 slices pepperjack cheese
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons horseradish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 3 cups au jus gravy

Be sure to start this recipe by preheating your oven to 350 degrees so by the time you have everything assembled, your sliders are ready to go into the oven.

Cut the tray buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom portion of the buns in the baking tray and set the top portion aside for the moment.

Mix together the horseradish and 1/4 cup of butter together. Spread it over the buns on the tray.

Line with the sliced cheese.

If using leftover roast beef, it's a nice idea to go through and 're-shred' the beef pieces in case there are any large chunks still holding together. It's nice if the pieces are bite-size. Place them on top of the cheese slices.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the roast beef. Place the top portion of the buns on top of the sliders.

Melt the remaining 1/4 cup butter, add in the parsley and garlic, and brush the tops of the buns.

Place in the oven for approximately 15 - 18 minutes until the buns are golden on top and heated through, and the cheese has melted on the inside.

While the sliders are in the oven, heat the au jus gravy from the pan drippings when you make the roast, or, prepare the au jus packets according to the package directions.

Remove the sliders when the cooking time is up and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Notes: Prepare your roasting dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup! Use leftover roast beef that's been shredded. If it's in slices, I recommend chopping it up finely so it fits nicely onto the buns and makes separating them way easier.

Let the sliders rest for a few minutes out of the oven as the cheese will be very hot and could burn easily.

Copy-Cat Maid Rite Sliders

When it comes to comfort food, there's something incredibly special about the simple, nostalgic flavors of a classic Maid Rite sandwich. Maid Rite sliders, a miniaturized and equally scrumptious version of this iconic loose meat sandwich, have a unique charm that captivates taste buds and warms hearts.

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 12 slider buns
  • Dill pickle slices (optional)
  • Yellow mustard (optional)
  • Cheese slices (optional)

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, then drain off any excess grease.

Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet with the beef. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine, then reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly absorbed.

Season the beef mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

To assemble the sliders, split the slider buns and place a heaping spoonful of the beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. If desired, top with pickle slices, a squirt of yellow mustard, and a slice of cheese.

Place the top half of the buns on top of the beef and toppings, then serve the sliders immediately. Source: www.cooktopcove.com/2023/03/24/maid-rite-sliders/?src=fbfan_74583&t=fbsub_casserolekitchen&fbclid=IwAR3ACtErrav1XFoTp7jFoccUdS7BZVgofqoLC2bZ_AuN1F6fqVvrbYWYxck

Garlic Bread Italian Sliders

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls (1 pack)
  • 1/2-pound deli sliced pepperoni

  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • 1/2 cup giardiniera, diced (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Leaving them attached, slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and then set the top half aside. Place the bottom half in a glass baking dish.

In a small bowl, mix the butter and garlic together. Using a spoon or basting brush, spread half of the mixture over the bottom half of the buns.

Layer the provolone cheese over the bottom rolls, followed by the salami, pepperoni, and giardiniera. Place the top half of the rolls back on top.

Using a spoon or basting brush, spread the remainder of the butter mixture over the top of the sliders and then sprinkle oregano over the top.

Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the top of the buns turn a golden brown. Cut them apart and serve with marinara sauce. If your cheese hasn't melted enough to your liking, cover the dish with aluminum foil and put it back in the oven for a few more minutes until cheese has melted.

Notes: Sliced banana peppers/peperoncini can also be used in place of giardiniera.

Please use as much or as little meat as you like.

Big Mac Sliders

If you're a fan of the iconic Big Mac, then you're in for a treat! In this recipe, we'll be transforming the legendary Big Mac into delectable sliders, served on a sheet pan. These Big Mac Sliders will satisfy your cravings and add a touch of fun to your next gathering, backyard BBQ, or weeknight dinner.

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 12 slider buns, split
  • 12 slices American cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced pickles
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • Special Sauce: You could make your own, but a hack is to use Thousand Island dressing.
  • 1/3 cup Thousand Island dressing (adjust as desired)
  • Optional: Toasted sesame seeds and butter

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until the seasonings are evenly incorporated. Press the seasoned ground beef mixture into an even layer on the prepared sheet pan, making sure it reaches the edges. Bake the beef in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

While the beef is cooling, prepare the special sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Mix until well combined.

Once the beef has cooled, use a knife or cookie cutter to cut it into 12 squares, similar in size to the slider buns.

Place the bottom half of each slider bun on the sheet pan. Top each bun with a square of cooked beef, followed by a slice of American cheese. Spread a generous amount of the special sauce on the top half of each slider bun. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Remove the sliders from the oven. Top each one with shredded lettuce, diced pickles, and diced onions.

Finally, place the top half of each slider bun on top of the toppings to complete the sliders.

Optional: Use a pastry brush and brush the tops of the buns with the melted butter, then add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

Serve the Big Mac Sliders immediately and enjoy the deliciousness!

For The Angel Biscuits:

  • 1/4 warm water (110 degrees)
  • 1 heaping tablespoon quick rise yeast
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup shortening (Crisco)
  • 2 cups full fat buttermilk

For The Sliders:

  • 18-24 Angel Biscuits
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup dijon mustard
  • Sriracha, to taste, as desired
  • 2/3 cup mango/peach chutney, or jam of your choice
  • l-1 1/2 pounds country sliced ham

For the Angel Biscuits: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place yeast and warm water in a small bowl and stir to dissolve.

In a mixing bowl of an electric mixer using the paddle attachment, mix 5 cups of flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and sugar until well blended.

Remove paddle attachment and attach the dough hook. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add yeast mixture to buttermilk, whisk together until smooth. Pour into the flour mixture, beating on low with dough beater until dough forms a ball, and the dough is loosened from the sides of the bowl. With a spatula, bring flour up to the top to help form a ball.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and roll out to 3/4-inch. Cut rolls out with a 2-2 1/2-inch cutter, or use a glass. Just whatever size you want your rolls.

Place cut rolls on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter.

For the Sliders: In a bowl, add the mayonnaise, mustard, and sriracha and mix until creamy smooth. Slice the Angel Biscuits with a bread knife in half. Spread the cut side of the bottom layer of the biscuit lightly with the peach chutney or the mayonnaise mixture. Lay a generous amount of sliced country ham over the mayonnaise mixture.

Spread a generous dollop of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut side of the top biscuit slice and place over the sliced ham.

Continue with the rest of the biscuits. The sliders are best served at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders

Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders are for folks who absolutely love turkey breast, bacon, and white, sharp cheddar cheese.

  • 1 (12 count) package Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
  • 1 pound turkey breast thinly sliced and divided
  • 12 slices white sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices bacon, roughly chopped into 1-inch pieces and fried until crisp
  • 12 tomatoes, slices about 1/4-inch thick

Mornay Sauce ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • Dash nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Butter Glaze ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice the rolls in half, providing a layer of the tops and a layer of the bottom half. Ensure that the top and bottom of the rolls remain attached. (So there are two slabs.)

Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour whisking after each addition.

Continue to cook over medium heat stirring for 2 minutes. (Do not brown.) Gradually pour in the milk continuing to whisk as you add it. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly for about 2-3 minutes ( or until thickened). Reduce heat to low. Slowly add the cheddar cheese. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Keep warm. Set aside.

Directions to build sandwiches: Place the bottom portion of the rolls on the parchment lined pan.

Layer 1/2 of the turkey evenly over the rolls. Layer the cheddar cheese slices evenly on top of the turkey. Sprinkle the bacon on top of the cheese covered turkey slices. Top this with the tomato slices. (a slice on each roll.) Carefully spread the Mornay sauce over the tomatoes.

Add another even layer of the rest of the turkey slices. Put the top half of the buns over the second layer of sliced turkey. Set aside.

Whisk the melted butter, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper together in a small bowl until well combined. Gradually pour this mixture evenly over top of rolls. Place aluminum foil over the pan. Let the pan stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. (Or until cheese is melted.) Remove the foil. Return the pan to the oven and continue to cook for 5 minutes. (Or until the top has lightly browned.)

Cut into individual sliders.
