Notes

  • Make sure to save the cardboard box that the rolls come in! By packing up the sliders back in the box to bake them, you'll use less dishes and keep them perfectly formed.
  • For crispier sandwiches, take the foil off after 10 minutes and let them cook uncovered for the last 5-10 minutes.
  • Serving sliders at a party? Wrap each slider in foil and place them in a crock pot on low heat to keep them toasty all day!
