Make these easy Italian Grinder Sliders using Hawaiian rolls for a crowd-pleasing party appetizer or quick weeknight dinner. These hot Italian sliders are packed with deli meats and melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 count) package Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced salami
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced ham
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced turkey breast
  • 4 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
  • 4 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Layer the deli meats and cheeses evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Start with salami, then ham, then turkey, followed by alternating layers of provolone and Swiss cheese.
  4. Place the top half of the rolls over the meat and cheese layers.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the glaze.
  6. Brush the entire top surface of the slider rolls generously with the garlic butter glaze.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the grinder sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the rolls. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a thin layer of mayonnaise or Italian dressing to the bottom rolls before adding the meat.
  • You can substitute the deli meats with pepperoni or capicola for a spicier kick.
  • If you do not have Hawaiian rolls, use any soft slider bun.
