How to Make Hot Italian Sub Sliders

Making these sliders is a breeze! Follow these simple steps to whip up a batch of Hot Italian Sub Sliders.

Ingredients:

• 12 pack rolls, halved lengthwise (I recommend Kings Hawaiian rolls)
• 6 oz package of ham, thinly sliced
• 5 oz package of salami, thinly sliced
• 5 oz package of pepperoni, thinly sliced
• 9 slices provolone cheese
• 1/3 cup pepperoncini, sliced
• 1/3 cup pickled hot cherry peppers, sliced
• 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed (I recommend fresh over jarred)
• 1 cup marinara sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Lay the bottom half of the rolls on a baking sheet or pan. Layer on slices of ham, followed by salami, then pepperoni, and a layer of provolone cheese. Top with sliced hot cherry peppers and sliced peperoncini. Replace the top bun and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with Italian seasoning and crushed garlic. Mix to combine. Brush the seasoned butter mixture over the top of the sliders, making sure to coat all the nooks and crannies.
4. Cover the sliders with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven, slice, and enjoy! I recommend serving with a side of your favorite marinara sauce for dipping.

How to Serve Hot Italian Sub Sliders

Hot Italian Sub Sliders can be served warm right out of the oven. You can present them whole or sliced for easy serving. Pair them with marinara sauce for dipping, along with a side of salad or chips for a complete meal. These sliders are also great as an appetizer at parties, allowing guests to grab and go.

How to Store Hot Italian Sub Sliders

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to three days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350 degrees F until warmed through. You can also microwave them, though the oven helps keep the bread from getting too soggy.

Tips to Make Hot Italian Sub Sliders

• Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh garlic instead of jarred is a good example.
• Feel free to adjust the types of meats and cheeses to suit your taste preferences.
• If you like extra heat, add more pickled hot cherry peppers or even jalapeños.
• Monitor the sliders while baking to avoid over-baking; look for that perfect golden brown color.

Variation

You can customize these sliders by adding veggies like roasted red peppers or spinach for extra flavor and texture. You could also use different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or sharp cheddar, to change up the flavor profile.
