Everyone loves pizza night … but standard pizzas aren’t always the best option. What I serve at my house will often depend on my time, budget and of course what I’m craving.

Takeout pizza is probably the easiest option but it can be super expensive. The alternative is to make my own pizza. But, pizza preparation can be time-consuming and involve a fair amount of effort, especially when feeding my guys and all their friends. So when I need a convenient, crowd-pleasing alternative to pizza night, pizza sliders are what I make.

Pizza sliders are really just miniature versions of their pizza counterparts. You get the same flavors of a pizza in a more manageable handheld that’s incredibly simple to assemble so there is minimal preparation time and very little effort… my kind of meal!

And since they are simple to make, they are ideal for various occasions, from casual family gatherings, game day get togethers, even festive holiday celebrations.

All you need is a package of rolls, some pizza sauce, sliced cheese and a couple of packages of Smithfield Prime Fresh Delicatessen Meats and you’re in business. All is takes is about 5 minutes of prep and 15 minutes in the oven and dinner is served. Now that’s my kind of pizza night!

Look for a big selection of Smithfield Prime Fresh Delicatessen Meats when you shop at Publix. There are lots of options so you can get exactly what you are craving. Be sure to take advantage of the BOGO sale that starts as part of the new Publix ad valid 12/7 – 12/13 (12/6 – 12/12 for some).

And a little tip for another tasty meal … skip the pizza sauce and swap out the mozzarella for a cheddar, Swiss or havarti cheese and use a package of Prime Fresh Ham to create the most delicious Hot Ham & Cheese Sliders.

Mix things up and create delicious meals that your whole family will love.
