Pro Tips

- Don't Walk Away From the Broiler: The broiler works quickly. Keep an eye on the sliders during each step so the rolls get toasted without burning.
- Serve With Extra Sauce: The Marry Me sauce is one of the best parts of this recipe. Save some to drizzle over the sliders or serve on the side for dipping.
