1 stick of butter
¼ cup of parsley, freshly chopped
1 tbsp of garlic
Garlic and Herb seasoning
Hot Honey seasoning, optional
All-purpose seasoning

1 tbsp of garlic paste
1 tbsp of Italian herb paste
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 (32-ounce) can of tomato sauce
1 tbsp of sugar
½ tsp of dried oregano

How to Make Pizza Sliders

Step 1

Cook the bacon in a pan until nice and crispy, then transfer it to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain off excess grease, and let it cool down before chopping them into smaller pieces.

Step 2

Add the sausage meat to the same pan, then break them apart, mash them as much as you can, and cook them until brown and cooked through. Turn off the heat, transfer the cooked sausage to a separate plate or bowl, and set it aside for later.

Step 3

Place a clean pan on a stove, then add the olive oil, tomato paste, garlic paste, and Italian herb paste, stir them well, and gently toast them over medium-low heat.

Step 4

Add the tomato sauce, then keep stirring to combine, add the all-purpose seasoning and other seasonings of your choice, add in the oregano and white sugar as well, and continue to mix until combined.

Step 5

Bring it to a simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, then turn off the heat, and set the sauce aside. In another pan, add the butter and let it melt, then add the garlic paste and hot honey seasoning, and stir well before mixing in the parsley.

Step 6

Using a serrated knife, cut the buns through in half, then remove the top half of the bun, and set it aside. Place the bottom layer of the bun in a baking dish lined with a small wire rack, then spread some pizza sauce over the buns, and top it with shredded cheese.

Step 7

Add a layer of pepperoni slices on top, then put the sausage meat over them, and top them with chopped bacon. Sprinkle them with some more garlic and herb seasoning or whatever you prefer, then top them with more cheese, and then put the top half of the buns over them.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 400°F, then allow the buns to bake for about 10 minutes, and brush them with the prepared garlic butter on top. Sprinkle some grated parmesan over them, then serve, and enjoy!
