 Step by Step Instructions

I opened a package of King’s Hawaiian rolls and separated all of the buns.

I cut two slits in the top of each bun and removed the piece of of bun in between the slits to make a slot for the wieners to sit in.

 STEP 2: 

I sprayed a baking dish with cooking spray and then placed the buns in the dish.

I melted some butter in a small bowl and added garlic powder and parsley flakes to the bowl.

I stirred until well combined.

 STEP 4: 

I brushed the garlic butter on the buns in the baking dish.

 STEP 5: 

I placed one cocktail wiener in each bun.

Then I spooned pizza sauce over the wieners.

 STEP 6: 

I topped each wiener with shredded mozzarella cheese.

 STEP 7: 

I thinly sliced two mini pepperoni sticks.

I placed the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese on the hot dogs.

 STEP 8: 

I placed the dish in the oven and baked the pizza dogs until the cheese was fully melted and they were nicely toasted.

 STEP 9: 

After 18 minutes I removed the dish from the oven and served the sliders immediately.

I served mini with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these mini pizza dog sliders ahead of time?

• Yes. You can assemble the sliders ahead of time, cover them tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes, then bake as directed.

What kind of hot dogs work best for this recipe?

• Cocktail wieners are ideal because they fit perfectly in the rolls and bake evenly, but you can also cut regular hot dogs into smaller pieces if that’s what you have.

How should I store leftovers?

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

How do I reheat mini pizza dog sliders?

• Reheat them in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or use the microwave for a quicker option. The oven will help keep the rolls from getting soggy.
