Pizza night is Friday in our house so when friends and family come over for football on Sunday I'm always looking to make something other than pizza and wings. I try to find recipes that are easy to make, easy to eat and still have the gluttinous feel of a gameday meal. These Pull Apart Italian Sub Sliders were so perfect for watching football on a cool fall afternoon.

I skipped the fig preserves because I don't have those in the pantry and would never use them again. Instead of the roasted red pepper sauce I added some hot crushed pepper sauce like you get from a deli for some kick and I like my Italian sandwiches to have a little bit of a vinegar taste.

Even though I put them in the oven for the minimum 20 minutes the tops of the rolls were a little browned on top so maybe check in after the foil is removed to make sure these don't burn.

Despite being slightly overcooked these went over well and are definitely going to be in the gameday food rotation.
