Pizza Pull-Apart Sliders

My family and I usually have a designated pizza night a couple of times a month. My son loves to help make pizza so I’ll pick up some store-bought pizza dough and toppings and we can make it together pretty fast. It may not take us long to make but it’s our special time together and a good time to get him to open up and chat about school or whatever is on his mind. I find he opens up a bit more when he’s focused on something else but he’s still hanging out with me.

Pizza Remix

But sometimes, you just get in a pizza rut. You know what I mean? That’s when you know it’s time to switch it up. Enter – pizza sliders. They are pizza reimagined. My family got really excited over this recipe. It made the house smell SO good while it was in the oven! And, it’s still something my son and I can make together. He loved making a new recipe but with familiar flavors. And at the end of the day, that’s the most important thing, right? Coming together at mealtime to make and share yummy food that everyone will eat. Get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy these small moments. Be present in this little thing that you are doing and sharing together.

Plus, you can have a lot of fun with this recipe by adding whatever toppings your family loves. I even picked up pre-cooked sausage to make this even easier. And don’t even get me started on the seasoned buttery topping on this. Have mercy – so good! It really makes these special. These sliders would also be perfect for a crowd. No need for just regular ole pizza all the time! Serve pizza sliders up with some Lipton Iced Tea and a big, green salad! Want more re-mixed recipes?

Pizza night in the house

In my house, we wouldn’t even think about eating a meal without iced tea. I’m not even kidding. I brew a couple of gallons a week. There’s just something so welcoming about serving up tea when you have friends over too. I like to pour it in mason jars and it makes everyone feel at home. We drink it with lunch, with dinner and just because. Never made it yourself? No worries, I got you covered. Below is an easy-to-follow instruction card on exactly how to do it. If you are making a gallon, just double the amount of Lipton Family Size Tea Bags. I usually add 1 1/2 -2 cups of sugar per gallon of tea (but that can be easily adjusted to your taste.) Lipton Iced Tea is specially blended for iced tea so it comes out perfect every time. You can’t mess it up! 🙂 screen-shot-2016-10-05-at-5-50-00-pm

You’ll want to make sure that you have the thicker part of the bun on the bottom. Since it’s going to be carrying a lot of the load with all the toppings. 🙂

Place bottom bun into prepared baking dish. Spread pizza sauce onto rolls.

    could you use shredded cheese instead of slices?

    These sliders sound & look so good, except for the fact that I totally abhor pepperoni! I’ll use a good quality Canadian bacon instead, so I’m sure they’ll be scrumptious, and also somewhat healthier.

    “45” pepperonis? LOL I love an exact recipe! Although I didn’t follow it too much. 3/4 cup would have been too much sauce because my rolls were kind of small. Omitted the sausage because I didn’t have any. =( I definitely didn’t count out the pepperoni..Did anyone else?? LOL
    I was too lazy to mix the topping in a bowl so I just slathered on some butter and sprinkled the spices on top. A perfect, fast, lazy meal! Had it with a salad per your suggestion.
