Ingredients
- 12 hawaiian rolls
- 8 ounces ham (thinly sliced)
- 4 ounces provolone cheese (sliced)
- 3 ounces thinly sliced pepperoni
- 3 ounces thinly sliced salami
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers

Instructions

- Once the sandwiches are done, remove the tops, add the grinder salad and put the tops back on. Serve immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these sliders ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble these Family-Friendly Italian Grinder Sliders a few hours in advance. Cover them tightly and refrigerate until ready to bake, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if they go into the oven cold.
What are the best meats to use for the filling?
Traditional Italian grinder flavors come from a combination of sliced deli meats like salami, ham, and pepperoni. For these bite-sized sandwiches, using a mix of two or three meats creates the most authentic and delicious taste.
How can I keep the slider buns from getting soggy?
To prevent sogginess, lightly toast the halved slider buns before assembling. Also, layering the cheese directly on the bottom bun creates a barrier against the moist ingredients in these Family-Friendly Italian Grinder Sliders.
