Take-out Tuesday, Mama Mia Sliders
Mama Mia, it’s election day! Let’s pray the madness will be finally over one way or another!
Ok, this recipe can be complicated or simple it’s up to you!
The complicated part would be if you want to use homemade Bolognese Sauce…
Bolognese sauce is a wonderful sauce, thickened with several kinds of meat, traditionally sausage, ground pork, and sometimes bacon, carrots, tomatoes…
Make up a batch and freeze it in portions and you will be happy for a long time…
But if you don’t have a stash on hand you can add browned meat to a jarred marinara, the key is to add enough so your sauce will be thick
Hawaiian Rolls, Bolognese Sauce, Pepperoni, Parmesan and garlic parsley butter
I cut the rolls in 2 sections, making 6 at a time
Spread bottoms with a thick layer of sauce
Sprinkle sauce with Parmesan
Microwave pepperoni slices in between paper towels for 20 seconds to render fat and lay on top of sauce and cheese
Another sprinkle of cheese
Place the tops on each section
Carefully cut bread into the individual roles and place on foil
Brush roll tops liberally with garlic butter and sprinkle with parsley
This recipe was adapted from Pepperoni Pizza Sliders from Damn Delicious
Mama Mia Sliders
1 dozen Hawaiian Rolls or slider buns {I used King’s Savory Hawaiian Rolls}
36-48 pepperoni slices
1 1/2 cups Bolognese sauce or very thick meat sauce
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 T unsalted butter
garlic powder
salt and pepper
2 T chopped parsley
Divide rolls into 2 sections of 6 each. Half sections horizontally. Spread bottom halves with a thick layer of Bolognese sauce or thick marinara. Sprinkle with half of cheese.
Place pepperoni between paper towels and microwave for 20 seconds to render fat.
Divide slices between the 2 roll bottom sections, placing 3-4 slices of pepperoni on each individual roll bottom. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and replace top sections. Carefully cut out individual rolls along bakery lines. Place rolls close together in a foil lined baking pan.
Melt butter and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Brush roll tops with butter and sprinkle with parsley. Cover and refrigerate until baking if desired.
Bake covered for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake another 15-20 minutes until heated through and golden.
Serve warm. Reheat leftover rolls for 20 seconds each in microwave
You can see my recipe for Bolognese Sauce here
HHjr made a batch of Pastor Ryan’s Bolognese here, but he used a mixture of ground beef, ground pork, and Italian sausage, instead of just ground beef as stated in the original recipe
Both recipes are delicious and freeze beautifully so stash some away for the hectic holidays!
Enjoy!
