Ingredients Notes
The beauty of these Pizza Supreme Sliders lies in their balance of convenience and flavor. Here’s what you’ll need to create these miniature pizza delights:
- Slider buns: Soft, sweet Hawaiian rolls are the perfect base. They soak up all the delicious flavors without falling apart. Regular slider buns work too if you prefer a less sweet option.
- Marinara sauce: Choose a flavorful, high-quality marinara. This serves as the base for the pizza flavor, so don’t skimp! Homemade sauce works wonderfully as well.
- Cheese: A blend of shredded mozzarella and provolone delivers the gooey, stretchy texture we all love. If you like a bit more tang, sprinkle in some Parmesan.
- Meats: Classic pizza toppings like pepperoni and Italian sausage bring a savory, spicy kick. Cook the sausage ahead of time to save on prep time.
- Veggies: Freshly sliced bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms add vibrant flavor and texture. Sauté them briefly to soften before assembling the sliders.
- Butter topping: Melted butter mixed with minced garlic, dried oregano, and grated Parmesan transforms the buns into golden, flavorful perfection.
Special equipment? A 9x13-inch baking dish works perfectly to bake these sliders evenly.
How To Make These Pizza Supreme Sliders
Creating these sliders is a breeze, and the end result will have everyone coming back for seconds. Here’s how to make them step by step:
- Prep the slider buns
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected. Place the bottom halves in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. - Layer the sauce and cheese
Spread a generous layer of marinara sauce over the buns. Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella and provolone on top, ensuring even coverage. - Add the toppings
Evenly distribute your cooked Italian sausage, pepperoni slices, and sautéed veggies (bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms) over the cheese. Add another layer of cheese on top of the toppings for extra gooeyness. - Top and butter the buns
Place the top halves of the buns over the toppings. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, and grated Parmesan. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the buns. - Bake to perfection
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Storage Options
These Pizza Supreme Sliders store beautifully, making them great for meal prep or leftovers. Here’s how to keep them fresh:
- Refrigerate: Place the sliders in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Wrap individual sliders tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
To reheat, pop the sliders into a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Variations and Substitutions
The versatility of these sliders means you can customize them to suit any taste. Here are some ideas:
- Vegetarian version: Skip the meat and load up on extra veggies like olives, spinach, and artichoke hearts.
- Meat lover’s dream: Double the pepperoni, sausage, or even add crumbled bacon for an extra protein boost.
- Spicy kick: Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle hot honey over the sliders before serving.
- Gluten-free: Use gluten-free slider buns for a celiac-friendly option.
