Pepperoni Pizza Sliders
Are you ready for Pizza Night?
Over the last year, my kids have become BIG pizza fans…well, compared to a few years ago they wouldn’t have anything to do with it! We have discovered many variations to pizza – from making your own pizza dough to turning it into a pizza sandwich. My four year old son, just loves pepperoni. He eats it all by itself in the handfuls. A few nights back we had spaghetti, which is another favorite here. But we had some leftover spaghetti sauce and realized we could easily use that for some pepperoni sliders. The kids (and adults too) loved the meal – a simple warm pizza sandwich was just the right ticket for our cold, rainy day.
