What is a sliders?

“A slider is an American term for a small sandwich, typically around 2 inches across, made with a bun or dinner roll. Sliders can be served as hors d’oeuvres, snacks, or entrées. They have become a popular game day appetizer in the United States.” (source)

PMc says:

For an easier way to prepare these sliders, use pre-cooked meat (like leftover pot roast) to cut down on cooking time.

Another tip is to toast the buns lightly before adding the filling so they hold up better and don’t get soggy. These little steps make a difference in texture and taste.
