Our love for Italian food and pizza gave me the idea for pizza sliders. These would be delicious as a lunch, light dinner or party appetizer. Who could turn down pizza in a slider? —Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

Ingredients

1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon canola oil
1-1/2 cups pizza or marinara sauce
1 package (12 ounces) Hawaiian sweet rolls
1 cup sliced pepperoni
2/3 cup chopped ripe olives
1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons Italian salad dressing

Directions

Preheat oven to 375º. In a large skillet, cook green pepper and mushrooms in oil over medium-high heat until tender, 6-8 minutes. Pour in pizza sauce and stir to combine. Set aside.

Without separating rolls, cut package in half horizontally; arrange bottom halves on a greased baking sheet. Spread with pizza sauce mixture and layer with pepperoni, olives and mozzarella; replace top halves of rolls. Brush dressing over rolls and sprinkle with Parmesan.
Bake, uncovered, until rolls are heated through and mozzarella is melted, 12-15 minutes. Cover with foil if top browns too quickly. Remove and let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
