Vodka Pizza Sliders
I was so thrilled when I realized Trader Joe’s carries sweet pull apart buns, because they make the perfect base for a simple slider or sandwich. I topped these with vodka sauce, a flavor I love, and mozzarella cheese, because honestly, this is the cheese I think works best over pizza cheese. I finished it off with an amazing herb butter I love using, but you can easily swap that for regular melted butter with some herbs mixed in. My whole family devoured these, and that’s exactly why I’m making them again.

Ingredients
Sweet pull apart rolls
Truly perfect for this, use any brand you have on hand
Vodka sauce
This is a slightly tangy flavor that’s a little smoother than a classic marinara. Swap for your favorite marinara or tomato sauce if that’s what you have on hand
Pancetta, lightly fried
Cooked bacon or ham work great as a substitute.
Mozzarella
Melts beautifully, provolone is a good swap if you want a change
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 325 for about 10 minutes, or in the microwave until warmed through.
