Notes
If you don't have a long bread knife a serrated knife can be used. Start along one side and slowly spin the pan as you cut in a circle around the rolls.
Do NOT separate the sliders. Keeping them all attached will save a lot of time when assembling the mini sandwiches.
Browning the sliders isn't required, but it certainly adds another beautiful flavor to each slider and helps prevents the buns from getting soggy.
Making your own bacon and chopping into 2 - 3" pieces work great, I really love to see a nice piece of bacon settling into melted cheese, but purchasing precooked bacon bits works well too and can save time.
Yellow sharp cheddar works as well as sharp white cheddar.
Shredded cheese works fine too, it may take a little longer to melt and may run more than slices depending on how much is used.
We've tested this recipe with Havarti and mozzarella and definitely like cheddar the best!
