Ingredients Notes

The beauty of these Pizza Supreme Sliders lies in their simplicity. A handful of ingredients come together to create something truly special. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Slider buns: Soft, pull-apart rolls work best for this recipe. Look for Hawaiian rolls or any small dinner rolls that fit snugly in a baking dish.
• Mozzarella cheese: Use freshly shredded mozzarella for the ultimate gooey melt. Pre-shredded cheese works too but won’t melt quite as smoothly.
• Pepperoni: A pizza classic! Use standard or mini pepperoni slices for an even layer across your sliders.
• Italian sausage: Cooked and crumbled sausage adds heartiness and that signature supreme pizza flavor.
• Bell peppers and onions: Diced and sautéed until tender, these veggies bring a fresh, slightly sweet contrast to the rich meats and cheese.
• Marinara sauce: Spread a thin layer on the buns for that saucy pizza feel. Use your favorite store-bought sauce or homemade if you have extra time.
• Butter and garlic: Melted butter mixed with garlic powder (or fresh minced garlic) is brushed over the buns for a golden, flavorful finish.

Optional but amazing: a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or grated Parmesan on top of the buns before baking. Trust me, it takes these sliders to the next level!

No special equipment is needed—just a skillet for cooking the sausage and veggies and a baking dish to hold your sliders.

How To Make Pizza Supreme Sliders

Making these Pizza Supreme Sliders is quick and straightforward. Let me guide you through the process step by step.

1. Prepare your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook and crumble the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Remove the sausage and set it aside. In the same skillet, sauté the diced bell peppers and onions until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Assemble the sliders. Slice the slider buns in half horizontally without separating them into individual rolls. Place the bottom halves in a greased baking dish. Spread a layer of marinara sauce over the buns, then layer on half the mozzarella cheese.
3. Add the toppings. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage, sautéed veggies, and pepperoni over the cheese layer. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
4. Finish with the tops. Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese and toppings. Melt the butter and mix it with garlic powder. Brush this mixture generously over the buns, making sure to cover the edges.
5. Bake. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown.
6. Serve and enjoy! Remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool slightly before cutting them apart. Serve them warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.

In less than 30 minutes, you’ll have a dish that looks and tastes incredible!

Storage Options

Have leftovers? No problem! These Pizza Supreme Sliders store beautifully.

• Refrigerator: Place the sliders in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Wrap individual sliders tightly in plastic wrap, then store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.

To reheat, pop them in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. For a quick option, use the microwave, though the buns may lose some of their crispness.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about Pizza Supreme Sliders is how versatile they are. Here are a few ideas to customize your sliders:

• Vegetarian sliders: Skip the sausage and pepperoni. Load up on extra veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini for a hearty vegetarian version.
• Spicy kick: Add a layer of sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for those who like a little heat.
• Different cheeses: Try a blend of mozzarella and provolone for extra cheesy goodness, or swap in cheddar for a sharper flavor.
• Meaty twist: Include crumbled bacon or sliced ham along with the sausage and pepperoni for an even meatier slider.
• Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free buns to make this dish suitable for those with dietary restrictions.

Feel free to get creative—mix and match ingredients to make these sliders your own!

Final Tip: Whether you're hosting a big gathering or just want a fun twist on dinner, these Pizza Supreme Sliders are sure to impress. With minimal effort and maximum flavor, they’re bound to become a new favorite in your home.
