Everyone will be cheering for the one who serves these Game Day Hawaiian Pizza Sliders at half-time! Is it a pizza? Is it a sandwich? Who cares? Either way, this is the ultimate tailgate appetizer!
It’s football season! Whether you’re actually excited to watch the game or are just jazzed to dig into the half-time spread, we’re not here to judge! One thing we are sure of, though? These Game Day Hawaiian Pizza Sliders will be the MVP of the day no matter what team you’re rooting for.
Game Day Hawaiian Pizza Sliders
With sweet and spicy barbecue sauce, pineapple, bacon (BACON!!!), and Swiss cheese, these sliders turn our family’s favorite pizza toppings into an easy to eat, perfectly sized sandwich. Baked all in one dish, it’s easy to clean up too!
These Game Day Hawaiian Pizza Sliders are even easier to whip up with this little trade secret: You know how bacon can be so challenging to cut through when you want to fry up crumbles in the pan? It becomes super easy when you freeze it solid first. It’s been a game changer (pun intended) for my bacon-studded recipes.
Gather up your friends and family, and get ready to wow the crowd. Want to round out your menu? You’ll really want to try these Sweet and Spicy Dr Pepper® Wings and this recipe for Veggie Sheet Pan Nachos. Is your mouth watering yet?
