Favorite Hawaiian Sliders Recipe
This is our favorite Hawaiian Sliders recipe. Sliders are the perfect party food, and they’re super simple to make!
Hawaiian Sliders Ingredients:
- 2-2oz packets ham
- 1 4oz block of cheese
- 1 package Hawaiian buns
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 can pineapple slices
Hawaiian Sliders Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Slice the Hawaiian buns in half as a sheet.
- Layer the ham, cheese, pineapple, and then the top half of the buns.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the garlic and Worcestershire sauce.
- Pour the butter mixture over the buns.
- Cover the sliders with tinfoil and bake 30-40 minutes until butter is fully absorbed.

Easy Football Mason Jars
Use a white washable “window writer” marker to draw football laces on a clear mason jar. When you pour a drink into the jar, it really looks like a football!
PARTY TIP #2 – Use your marker to label jars with names so it will be easy to keep track of which cup belongs to which guest.
Football Brownies
Use an oval or football-shaped cookie cutter to create your football brownies. White writing icing, or regular frosting piped through a decorating bag, makes the laces.
Party Tip #3 – When serving large crowds, use time-saving tricks whenever possible. Box brownie mix is quick, easy, and your guests won’t know the difference!
