Italian Sub Sliders – Cheesy, Meaty Party Sandwiches


  • Author: Sarah White

Description

These warm, cheesy Italian Sub Sliders are loaded with deli meats, provolone, Italian dressing, crisp veggies, and buttery seasoned tops. They’re perfect for parties, game days, potlucks, or quick weeknight meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 count Hawaiian rolls
  • ¼ pound deli ham
  • ¼ pound deli salami
  • ¼ pound deli pepperoni
  • 12 slices provolone
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • Half of a small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup banana peppers
  • ¼ cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon mayo
  • ¼ cup Italian dressing

Instructions

  1. Prep the rolls. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the entire sheet of Hawaiian rolls horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom layer in a baking dish.
  2. Add the mayo and dressing. Spread the mayo evenly across the cut side of the bottom rolls. Drizzle 2–3 tablespoons of Italian dressing over the mayo.
  3. Layer the meats. Add ham first, then salami, then pepperoni. Make sure the meats reach the edges so every slider has a full bite.
  4. Add the provolone. Layer the cheese evenly over the meats.
  5. Top with the roll lids. Place the top half of the rolls back on.
  6. Make the butter topping. Melt butter in a small bowl and stir in Italian seasoning. Brush evenly over the tops of the rolls.
  7. Bake. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake 12 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 3–6 minutes until the cheese melts and tops turn lightly golden.
  8. Finish with fresh toppings. Once removed from the oven, lift the top section or gently separate sliders enough to tuck in shredded lettuce, red onion, banana peppers, and roasted red peppers. Drizzle remaining Italian dressing if desired.
  9. Serve immediately. Cut into individual sliders and enjoy warm.

Add veggies after baking to keep them crisp and vibrant.
