Make these easy baked Italian Grinder Sliders for a crowd-pleasing meal. These bite-sized sandwiches use Hawaiian rolls, deli meats, and provolone cheese, topped with a savory garlic butter glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 count) package sweet slider rolls (like Hawaiian rolls)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced ham
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced turkey
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced salami
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced pepperoni
  • 12 slices provolone cheese
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese (optional, for extra melt)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Slice the entire package of slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected if possible. Place the bottom halves of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Layer the meats and cheeses evenly over the bottom layer of rolls. Start with ham, then turkey, salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, and Swiss cheese if using.
  4. Place the top halves of the rolls over the meat and cheese layers.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Slowly and evenly drizzle the butter mixture over the top of the assembled sliders. Use a pastry brush to spread the mixture to cover all the tops of the rolls.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes covered.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are golden brown.
  10. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the individual rolls. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a sharper flavor, substitute some provolone with mozzarella or use pepper jack cheese.
  • You can assemble these sliders up to 4 hours ahead of time. Keep them covered in the refrigerator and add 5-10 minutes to the covered baking time.
  • Serve these as a great party appetizer or game day sandwiches.
