Method
 

How to Make Italian Grinder Sliders
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Assemble the sliders by lightly slicing the Hawaiian rolls in half and layering the ham, provolone cheese, pepperoni, and salami in between.
  3. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Mix in the grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and salt until well combined, creating a rich glaze.
  4. Brush the glaze generously over the assembled sliders.
  5. Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the tops turn a delightful golden brown.
  6. Prepare the grinder salad by combining the shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced pepperoncini peppers, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
  7. Serve the hot sliders on a platter with the refreshing grinder salad on the side.
