Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 9x13 baking dish for the sliders.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded lettuce, diced red onion, chopped banana peppers, mayonnaise, dill relish, and Italian dressing. Stir well and chill.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add chopped ham, salami, and pepperoni, stirring frequently until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the bottom halves of the Hawaiian rolls in the baking dish. Spread mayonnaise over each roll and bake for about 8 minutes until toasted.
  5. Layer slices of provolone cheese over the rolls, then distribute the warm meat mixture evenly on top before placing the top halves of the rolls back.
  6. Mix melted butter with garlic powder, oregano, and basil. Brush over the top of the rolls and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven, add the chilled lettuce mixture over the meat filling, place the top rolls back on, and cut for serving.
