Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Sliders

An easy recipe Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Sliders brushed with a tasty garlic butter that everyone loves

My obsession with sliders continues…

I don’t know what it is about sliders that I love so much? Maybe because they are mini version of a larger sandwich so I don’t feel guilty eating more than one or that they are just so cute?

These tasty little Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Sliders are a total hit. And while you might be thinking these are just like any other pizza slider, just you wait!

These Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Sliders have an extra layer of flavor tucked inside that takes these pizza sliders to another level of yumminess.

Tucked inside these tasty little sliders is a layer of cream cheese mixed with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. It’s my secret weapon on a lot of things but seriously it’s delish and it makes a huge difference.

I love those unexpected things. These might come across as just your average pizza slider and while they would be good with just your basic things like pepperoni, pizza sauce and mozzarella, adding that layer of cream cheese makes each bite even tastier than the last.
