Classic Turkey and Cheese Sliders

These crowd-pleasing sliders are perfect for game day or a quick family dinner—melty cheese, savory turkey, and buttery rolls come together in minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

The magic here? Baking them as a whole pan keeps the rolls irresistibly soft while the butter-topped crust gets just crisp enough. Slice into individual sliders and watch them disappear!
