# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They taste like your favorite Buffalo chicken dip and pizza rolls had a baby, and it's portable.
  • You can assemble the whole pan in under twenty minutes, then let the oven do the work while you hang out.
  • The buttery garlic topping on those soft buns makes every bite feel like a warm hug with a kick.
  • They're perfect for feeding a crowd without spending all day in the kitchen.
02 -
  • Don't skip softening the cream cheese or you'll end up with lumps in the filling that never smooth out.
  • Keep the buns connected when you slice them, it makes spreading the dip and keeping everything together so much easier.
  • If you overbake them, the tops get too hard and the cheese dries out, so watch closely after you pull off the foil.
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the buns so you don't squish them, and slice them all at once while they're still connected.
  • Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes after baking so the cheese sets just enough to hold together when you cut them.
  • If you want the tops extra golden, turn on the broiler for the last minute or two, but don't walk away or they'll burn.
