Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound spicy Italian sausage, about 4 links, casings removed

  • 1 can Red Gold® Canned Petite Diced Tomatoes 14.5 oz

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 12 count Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella, or white cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives

Instructions

Step one

In a large skillet over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step two

Cook the ground sausage until brown, breaking up with your spatula into tiny pieces, about 6-8 minutes.

Step three

Add the Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and flour.  Mix well and simmer for 5-6 minutes until tomato sauce is reduced by half.  Remove from heat to cool 5-10 minutes.

Step four

In the meantime, slice the slider rolls in half lengthwise.  Drizzle the bottom half with olive oil then broil on HIGH in the oven for 2-3 minutes, until browned.  

Step five

Spoon the spicy Italian sausage mixture onto the toasted sliders, add the shredded cheese, then the top half of the rolls.

Step six

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, basil and chives. Brush on the top of the sliders.

Step seven

Bake covered 10 minutes, then uncovered 10-12 minutes, until cheese is fully melted.  Enjoy warm!
