Ingredients 

SLIDERS

  • 1 package King’s Hawaiian rolls
  • 2-3 tbsp Spicy mayo
  • ½ lb Sliced turkey
  • ½ lb Sliced ham
  • 5 slices Cheddar cheese
  • 5 slices Pepper jack cheese
  • Potato chips or kettle chips

GRINDER SALAD

  • 1 bag shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup mayo
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Red chili flakes to taste
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions 

  • Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and toast them cut-side down until lightly golden, brushing both sides with spicy mayo.
  • Layer the bottom rolls with turkey, ham, cheddar cheese, and pepper jack cheese, stacking evenly for consistent bites.
  • Place the sliders in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and just beginning to pull.
  • Add the shredded lettuce, mayo, red wine vinegar, garlic, black pepper, oregano, red chili flakes, salt, pepperoncini peppers, and red onion to a bowl and mix until creamy and well combined.
  • Remove the sliders from the oven and add a layer of chips directly on top of the melted cheese to lock in crunch and texture.
  • Pile the grinder salad over the chips, cap with the top rolls, slice into sliders, and serve immediately.
