Ingredients

For the Sliders

12 Hawaiian sweet rolls Do not separate them.
14 oz cocktail sausages (like Lit'l Smokies) You'll need about 24-36 sausages.
1 cup canned chili Use your favorite brand, with or without beans.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Sharp or medium cheddar works best.

For the Topping

3 tbsp butter melted
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp onion powder

Equipment

1 9x13 inch baking dish
1 Large Skillet

Method

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Without separating the rolls, slice the entire slab of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to create a top and bottom section. Place the bottom slab in the prepared baking dish.
Arrange the cocktail sausages evenly over the bottom slab of rolls. Use 2-3 sausages per slider.
Spoon the chili evenly over the sausages. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chili.
Place the top slab of rolls over the cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tops are golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before slicing into individual sliders to serve.

Notes

Feel free to add other toppings like diced onions or jalapeños with the chili for extra flavor.
These sliders are best served warm, fresh from the oven.
