- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing into individual sliders.
- Serve warm with lettuce leaves if desired.
Notes
You can adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to taste for more or less heat.
Feel free to substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a different flavor profile.
These sliders can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking. Just increase the baking time slightly if they are cold from the fridge.
