Kitchen Tools Used
Instructions
To Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and mist a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Slice the Hawaiian buns in half as a sheet.
- In the prepared baking dish, layer the bottom halves of the Hawaiian sweet rolls, sliced ham, cheese, and pineapple, then cover with the top half of the buns.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until combined. Pour the melted butter mixture on top of the rolls and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. The flavored butter will soak into the rolls and impart them with so much flavor!
- Cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melty. Uncover and cook for 3-5 minutes to just crisp up the tops.
Remove from oven and allow to cool just enough to handle (they are definitely best enjoyed warm and melty!) Use a serrated knife or spatula to cut apart into individual sliders.

Prep Tips
- Cheese – You can pretty much use any type of cheese for this recipe and it will taste amazing! A cheese that melts well is preferable: Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, provolone, are all great options! What I love about this recipe is that it is easy to modify so it’s just the way you like it! You can use more meat or less, more cheese or less cheese. You could even use a different meat — chicken would taste delicious too!
- Pineapple – We used canned pineapple because it is a big time saver. However, if you want to slice a fresh pineapple, that will taste absolutely fantastic!
- Meat – This dish is a great way to use leftover holiday ham! This recipe can also be adapted to use different types of sliced deli meat, such as turkey or roast beef. I would probably omit the pineapple in that case.
- Storage – These sliders can last for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Simply cover the pan of leftovers until you’re ready to reheat. You can also transfer to an airtight container.
- Reheating Directions – To reheat, place sliders in baking pan in the oven while it preheats to 350°F. Remove from the oven when the sliders are warmed throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Use Less Butter?
The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup melted butter for the sauce that we pour on top of the sliders. This soaks into the bread and adds a ton of flavor! It might seem like a lot, but it is just the right amount for all of the bread.
However, since I originally published this recipe, I have had readers email me and let me know that they cut the amount of butter in half and used 1/4 cup instead. If using a smaller amount, you can brush the butter on top.
Can You Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can definitely prep this recipe so you can prepare it faster at party time. You can layer the bread, meat, and cheese in the pan and keep refrigerated. I would wait to add the pineapples and butter sauce until you’re ready to bake, so the bread doesn’t get soggy.
