Not only are these sliders delicious, they are SO easy to make! In fact, the first time we ate them my daughter Brynlee made them by herself. She "gets" to make dinner for us every now and then and this is a recipe she picked out from one of her cookbooks. I’ll admit that I didn't have high expectations for them but we were all pleasantly surprised by how good they were, and have made them a few times since.
To make these extra easy and fast, store-bought potato rolls can be used, but if you have a little extra time and/or want to save a little money, our Homemade Hamburger Bun's recipe is easily converted to make the perfect slider.
