White Trash Sliders are a fun, indulgent take on classic sliders, often featuring simple ingredients and a satisfying, comfort-food flavor. These sliders tend to embrace convenience and budget-friendly ingredients, while still being tasty and filling. Here are a couple of recipes for you to try:
1. Classic White Trash Sliders
Ingredients:
- 1 package of dinner rolls (Hawaiian or regular)
- 1 lb deli ham (or any cheap deli meat like turkey or roast beef)
- 8 oz sliced cheese (American, Swiss, or cheddar)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds (optional)
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the rolls: Cut the entire pack of dinner rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact (don’t separate the individual rolls).
- Assemble the sliders: Layer slices of ham and cheese on the bottom half of the rolls.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, poppy seeds, and brown sugar. Stir until combined.
- Pour the sauce: Drizzle the sauce evenly over the assembled sliders, making sure all parts of the rolls are covered.
- Bake: Place the bottom half with the filling onto a baking sheet, then put the top half back on. Cover with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are golden brown.
- Serve: Slice the sliders along the lines and serve hot.
