Cheesy Pull-Apart Sliders

Ingredients

• 12 slider rolls or small dinner rolls (connected if possible)
• 1 pound ground beef or shredded roast beef (or your favorite meat)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced (optional)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise or cream cheese (optional for extra creaminess)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or parsley)
• Salt and pepper to tast

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or warm the shredded beef). Add diced onion, bell pepper (if using), and cook until the onion is translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
   • Stir in mayonnaise or cream cheese for extra creaminess (optional).
   • Remove from heat and mix in the shredded cheese until melted.
2. Prepare the Rolls:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Without separating the rolls, slice them horizontally in half, creating a top and bottom layer.
   • Place the bottom layer in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Assemble the Sliders:
   • Spread the prepared meat and cheese mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
   • Place the top layer of rolls back on top.
4. Prepare the Butter Glaze:
   • Mix melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
   • Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
5. Bake:
   • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp.
6. Serve:
   • Let the sliders cool slightly before serving. Pull apart and enjoy!
