Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) pkg. King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls, split
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 12 slices deli turkey
  • 12 slices cooked bacon
  • 6 slices Gruyere cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup diced pimientos or sliced tomatoes
  • ½ cup butter, cubed
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  • Assemble one slider by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom of the roll.
  • Add a layer of turkey, then bacon (breaking it in half or thirds to fit on the roll), a few diced pimientos (or tomatoes), half a slice of Gruyere, and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Replace the top. Repeat with remaining rolls to assemble a total of 12 sandwiches.
  • Arrange sandwiches in a single layer in a greased 11 x 7-inch baking dish.
  • In a small skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue whisking until the brown sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour the butter sauce over the sandwiches.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 8 hours).
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake, covered, for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

Tips For Making Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders:

  • I used Gruyere and Parmesan cheese but any good melting cheese would do if you don't have them on hand. Why not try provolone or sharp white cheddar.
  • Deli chicken can be used instead of turkey
  • Try adding a little mustard with the mayo of a little kick
  • You can make these in advance and keep them in the fridge for several hours before baking
