Calories: 252kcal
Equipment
- 1 aluminum foil pan Disposable
- smoker We have a Treager but any brand will work
Ingredients
- 12 count package of Hawaiian buns
- 12 slices provolone cheese slices
- 9 ounces smoked ham
- 7 ounces salami slices
- 5 ounces large pepperoni slices or small (Can also use more/less pepperoni if desired.)
- 4 Tablespoons butter melted
- 1 Tablespoon Italian dressing seasoning
- sliced banana peppers optional
- crushed red pepper optional
- grated parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Preheat smoker to 250° F.
- Using a sererated bread knife, slice the 12 count package of Hawaiian buns in half, creating a top bun later and a bottom bun later.
- Place the bottom buns in a 11x9 aluminum pan.
- Add layer of 12 slices provolone cheese slices on top of the bottom buns, making sure to cover the bread completely.
- Next layer on the meats, (9 ounces smoked ham, 7 ounces salami slices, 5 ounces large pepperoni slices) one at a time, and the order doesn't matter, just try to make sure the meats are evenly layered if possible, so the top buns rest evenly on top. If desired, layer on sliced banana peppers.)
- Add top layer of buns on to the top of meats.
- Mix 4 Tablespoons butterwith 1 Tablespoon Italian dressing seasoning and brush half or ¾ of the mixture on top of the buns. (If desired, mix in crushed red pepper and grated parmesan cheese as well.)
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place on smoker and cook for 2 hours.
- Remove the pan from the smoker, remove the aluminum foil, and if desired, brush on remaining melted seasoned butter. (You may have to re-melt the butter.)
- Remove sliders from the pan and place on to a cutting board or platter. Using a big spatula to remove the large rectangle is easiest. Using the serrated bread knife, slice the sliders in to individual pieces, where the lines are aleady formed. Serve!
Notes
Careful Removing: The cheese could stick to the pan in the smoking process. Before removing the sliders to the cutting board, make sure to detach anything sticking to the pan, to help make sure that your bread does not break or pull apart.
