Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding diced jalapeños or sautéed onions to the filling before layering.
• Use turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage as a substitute for pork sausage to suit dietary preferences.
• Make the cowboy butter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for convenience.
• If King’s Hawaiian rolls aren’t available, use soft dinner rolls or slider buns as an alternative.

Storage

Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also reheat individual sliders in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, though the bread may lose some crispness.

FAQs

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders the night before, cover them with foil, and refrigerate. When ready to eat, bake them as directed, adding a few extra minutes to ensure they are heated through.

What is cowboy butter and can I use regular butter instead?

Cowboy butter is a flavorful compound butter typically made with garlic, herbs, and spices. While you can use regular melted butter as a substitute, the cowboy butter adds a unique savory kick that enhances the sliders.
