Our love for Italian food and pizza gave me the idea for pizza sliders. These would be delicious as a lunch, light dinner or party appetizer. Who could turn down pizza in a slider? —Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas
Ingredients
-
1 medium green pepper, chopped
-
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
-
1 tablespoon canola oil
-
1-1/2 cups pizza or marinara sauce
-
1 package (12 ounces) Hawaiian sweet rolls
-
1 cup sliced pepperoni
-
2/3 cup chopped ripe olives
-
1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
-
2 tablespoons Italian salad dressing
Directions
-
1.
Preheat oven to 375º. In a large skillet, cook green pepper and mushrooms in oil over medium-high heat until tender, 6-8 minutes. Pour in pizza sauce and stir to combine. Set aside.

2.
Without separating rolls, cut package in half horizontally; arrange bottom halves on a greased baking sheet. Spread with pizza sauce mixture and layer with pepperoni, olives and mozzarella; replace top halves of rolls. Brush dressing over rolls and sprinkle with Parmesan.

3.
Bake, uncovered, until rolls are heated through and mozzarella is melted, 12-15 minutes. Cover with foil if top browns too quickly. Remove and let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
