Sliders

Sliders
So many restaurants are offering "sliders" instead of full sized sandwiches and burgers. I've found them to be the perfect size for kids as well as myself. I even bought a "slider cooker" for hamburgers. But I have run across 1 problem when it comes to making my slider burgers... bread. I have a terrible time finding the perfect size rolls for my mini burgers. The burgers themselves are too small for most dinner rolls that I found in the deli ending up with a lot of bread with each bite. Finally I've found the solution. Hot dog buns! One hot dog bun cut into thirds is the perfect size for slider burgers. They are also perfect for slider sandwiches. For my sandwiches I spray my "slider cooker" with non-stick spray, put the bottoms of my hot dog bun into each slot, add my cheese, top it with the hot dog top, put the cooker's press top on and cook on low until the cheese melts. Perfect size slider sandwiches. So, if you're into sliders, try using hot dog buns cut into thirds.

Just this week I decided to make it my goal to learn to make good sliders. I was wondering where I would find mini buns and I LOVE your idea of using hot dog buns cut into thirds. So creative and also very economical. Thanks!
