Pastrami Slaw Sliders
I first served these at a casual neighborhood get-together and had to print out copies of the recipe before everyone left!

These are perfect for when you want something a little different but still stress-free—great for tailgates, casual birthdays, or backyard BBQs where people want bold, memorable flavors.

Italian Meatball Sliders
These are my comfort-food heroes. When I made them for my husband’s game night, the tray was empty before halftime.
They’re cheesy, hot, and so easy to pull together with frozen meatballs and store-bought sauce—perfect for casual Fridays, football Sundays, or busy weeknight get-togethers.

They’re simple, affordable, and so easy to prep ahead.
