Ingredients Notes

The secret to these sliders’ success is the combination of fresh, flavorful ingredients. Let’s break down the essentials.

Slider Buns: Choose soft, buttery slider rolls like Hawaiian rolls for the best texture. Their slight sweetness pairs beautifully with the savory toppings.
Marinara Sauce: A good-quality marinara or pizza sauce forms the base of these sliders. Look for one with a balance of acidity and herbs for authentic pizza flavor.
Cheese: Use a mix of mozzarella and provolone for that classic, gooey pizza melt. For a little sharpness, sprinkle in some parmesan as well.
Toppings: A mix of pepperoni, Italian sausage, bell peppers, and red onions captures the essence of a pizza supreme. Feel free to add mushrooms, olives, or jalapeños for extra variety.
Seasoning: A sprinkle of Italian seasoning and garlic powder enhances the pizza flavors. Don’t skip it!
Butter Glaze: Melted butter mixed with garlic and herbs brushed on top of the buns adds a golden finish and extra flavor.

How To Make Pizza Supreme Sliders

Creating these sliders is as fun as eating them. Follow these easy steps for a batch of perfect, gooey sliders.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats up, prepare your ingredients by cooking the sausage, chopping the vegetables, and shredding the cheese if needed.

Step 2: Prepare the buns. Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally without separating them. Place the bottom halves in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3: Layer the ingredients. Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom buns. Add a generous layer of shredded cheese, followed by the sausage, pepperoni, bell peppers, and onions. Finish with another layer of cheese.

Step 4: Top and season. Place the top halves of the slider buns over the toppings. Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt.

Step 5: Bake to perfection. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.

Step 6: Serve and enjoy. Let the sliders cool for a minute before slicing them into individual sandwiches. Serve them warm and watch them disappear!

Storage Options

Have leftovers? Here’s how to keep your sliders fresh and reheat them perfectly.

Refrigeration: Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Wrap sliders individually in foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Reheating: Reheat sliders in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10 minutes. For frozen sliders, thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this recipe is how customizable it is. Try these variations to make it your own!

Vegetarian Option: Skip the meat and load up on mushrooms, spinach, olives, and extra cheese for a veggie-packed slider.
Spicy Kick: Add diced jalapeños, red pepper flakes, or spicy sausage to give your sliders a bold, fiery flavor.
Different Cheeses: Swap out the mozzarella for cheddar, gouda, or even a blend of your favorites for a new twist.
