To finish things off, a crisp slider slaw on top adds the perfect contrast and takes these sliders to the next level. Not only does it add freshness and crunch, but it also balances the rich meats and cheese beautifully.

FAQ

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes. You can assemble the sliders without the slaw, cover them tightly, and refrigerate for a few hours. Bake just before serving and add the slaw at the end for the best texture.

Can I change the meats or cheese?

Absolutely! You can swap the Italian meats for turkey or roast beef, or use mozzarella or Swiss instead of provolone. Just keep the layers light so everything heats evenly.

How should I store leftovers?

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to keep the rolls from drying out.

Do I have to add the slaw?

No. The sliders taste great on their own, but the slaw adds freshness and crunch that balances the rich meats and cheese.
