Pizza Sliders

I made these tasty and easy sandwiches for work. Everyone loved them. You can easily make whatever sort of adjustments to the recipe that you'd like. I added some chopped ham over the pepperoni that needed to be used up. You can add or substitute browned Italian sausage, and drained pineapple bits, for a Hawaiian flair, or for more variety, add chopped onion, green pepper and sliced mushrooms.Though not necessary to line the pan with foil, if you do, just be sure to either use Easy Release foil, or spray it with cooking spray, because the sandwiches will stick.  I found the original recipe here at Rachel Cooks.

1 package (12-count) King's Hawaiian buns
1/2 cup (or more) pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
sliced pepperoni

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp parsley flakes
1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves, or Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Spray a glass (11 x 8 inch)n pan with cooking spray. Cut entire sheet of rolls in half widthwise, separating the tops from the bottoms, being careful to keep the rolls connected. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the baking dish.

3.  Spread the pizza sauce over the rolls and layer on the pepperoni over the sauce. Sprinkle on the Mozzarella cheese and place the top half of the rolls over the pepperoni.

4.  In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, parsley flakes, dried oregano leaves, and Parmesan cheese and mix well. Pour evenly over the sandwiches. Spray a piece of foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking and cover the dish.

5.  Bake the sandwiches covered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

6. Uncover and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the Parmesan cheese is melted and lightly browned.

7.  Cut and separate the sandwiches and serve.
