With just five minutes of prep and a short bake time, they're an easy go-to for quick dinners, game days, or parties. The sautéed onions and peppers add extra flavor, and the Italian dressing brushed on top gives a deliciously savory finish.

Instructions
Bake up a batch of your very own pizza sliders by following these super simple step-by-step directions.
Step one: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Set aside.
Step two: In a small sauce pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add in the peppers and onion and cook for 3-5 minutes or until tender. Set aside.
Step three: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the entire block of sweet rolls horizontally without breaking apart the individual rolls. Set the top half to the side for now.
Step four: Spread the pizza sauce over the bottom half of the rolls. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese.
Step five: Top with a layer of sliced pepperoni.
Step six: Sprinkle with the olives, mushrooms, pepper and onion mix. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Step seven: Place the top half of the rolls back in place. Using a pastry brush, spread a layer of Italian dressing over the top of the rolls.
Step eight: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or just until browned and slightly crispy.
Hint: serve immediately for best taste
