My family and I usually have a designated pizza night a couple of times a month. My son loves to help make pizza so I’ll pick up some store-bought pizza dough and toppings and we can make it together pretty fast. It may not take us long to make but it’s our special time together and a good time to get him to open up and chat about school or whatever is on his mind. I find he opens up a bit more when he’s focused on something else but he’s still hanging out with me.
Ingredients
- for the sliders:
- 1 package 12 dinner rolls
- 3/4 cup pizza sauce
- 12 slices mozzarella cheese
- 45 slices pepperoni
- 1/2 cup cooked & crumbled sausage
- for the herb butter topping:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 stick
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350f degrees. Spray the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Slice the rolls horizontally (while still attached) to make a top and bottom bun.
-
Place bottom bun into prepared baking dish. Spread pizza sauce onto rolls.
-
Next, add 6 slices of cheese (covering all of the pizza sauce.)
-
On top of the cheese layer, add all the slices of pepperoni.
-
Sprinkle the top of the pepperoni with crumbled sausage.
-
Add the remaining 6 slices of cheese on top.
-
Then cover all of it with the top bun.
-
Now, make the seasoned buttery topping. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir well.
-
Then, using a brush (or a spoon) spread topping all over the sliders. Be sure to get the sides too!
-
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes.
