Ingredients

12 Hawaiian slider rolls still connected
2 cups lettuce shredded
½ cup mayonnaise divided
¼ small red onion diced
½ cup sweet pickle relish or dill pickle relish if you prefer
¼ cup banana peppers chopped, or roasted red peppers
¼ cup submarine dressing or ¼ cup mayo, 3 tblsp olive oil, 3 tblsp red wine vinegar, 1 tblsp Italian seasoning.
9-18 slices provolone cheese, depending on size divided, enough to cover slider surface, or use mozzarella, colby, cheddar or Monterey jack
¼ pound deli sliced ham
¼ pound deli sliced pepperoni
¼ pound deli sliced Salami
2 tablespoons butter melted
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray an 9x13 casserole dish lightly with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, ¼ cup of mayonnaise, red onion, relish, banana peppers, and submarine dressing. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
Place the bottom half of your sliders into the oven for 5 minutes to toast. Carefully add provolone cheese slices and spread half of the mayo on top of the cheese, as evenly as possible.
Layer remaining ingredients starting with the ham, pepperoni, salami, the lettuce mixture, another layer of provolone cheese (optional) and finally place the bun tops on last.
Brush the melted butter over the slider tops and sprinkle Italian seasoning over the tops.
Bake in your preheated oven uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are toasted, the sliders are heated throughout, and the cheese is melted.
Slice the sliders and serve!

Notes

Extra Cheese: Make sure to place cheese over toasted bottom buns to prevent them from becoming soggy. The second slice, right before you place the top buns on is optional.
Prep ingredients thoughtfully: Chop fillings finely and use fresh deli meats for the best flavor and balanced texture in every bite.
Prevent soggy sliders: Drain any wet ingredients, toast bottom buns, add cheese to cover bottom buns, and avoid overfilling so the buns stay sturdy and easy to serve.
Build for even flavor: Spread the dressing evenly and distribute the fillings consistently so every slider tastes just right.
Bake and serve for best texture: Bake uncovered for crisp tops, lightly toast bottom, and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Slice carefully: Use a sharp knife to keep the layers intact.
