The latest recipe swap was all about game-day eats – and as soon as I saw these on Sarah’s blog, I knew I had to make them. I’ve been on a huge pizza kick lately, so pizza in a sandwich form seemed like a great way to sneak it onto our weekly menu, again.

They’re also perfect for eating in front of the TV while you’re engrossed in football or basketball or hockey or the Olympics. Plenty of sports going around right now, so you have plenty of excuses to make them!

We loved them and if you’re a fan of pepperoni pizza, I bet you will too.

Pepperoni Pizza Sliders
(from A Taste of Home Cooking)
Makes 1 dozen sliders

For the sandwiches:
12 slider rolls
3/4 cup pizza sauce
24-36 slices of pepperoni (about 1/2 lb.)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For the topping:
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1/2 Tbsp. onion powder
1/2 Tbsp. garlic powder
1/2 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.

In a 9×13″ baking dish, place the bottoms of the slider rolls. Spread a little pizza sauce on each one and top with 2-3 slices of pepperoni. Sprinkle cheese over the pepperoni. Spread a little more pizza sauce on the inside of the top of the slider buns and top.

Whisk together the topping ingredients in a small bowl and brush over the sandwiches with a pastry brush. Let sit for 10 minutes to absorb, then cover in foil and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for another 5 minutes, until the tops are slightly browned. Serve immediately.
