00:551 teaspoon of garlic powder, and season generously with salt and pepper.

01:06keeping them close together in their original shape.

01:09Layer the 4 to 6 slices of sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the rolls,

01:13tearing pieces as needed to cover completely.

01:16Spoon the seasoned meat mixture evenly over the cheese layer,

01:19then drizzle 1 third cup of the special sauce over the meat.

01:23Top with 1 cup shredded spicy cheddar or pepper jack,

01:26then arrange the pickles and or pepperoncini over the cheese for tangy bursts of flavor.

01:32In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of butter, 4 to 6 chopped garlic cloves,

01:371 tablespoon of fresh herbs, and 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese until well combined.

01:43Cover the assembled sliders tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
