Preparation Steps

• Cook the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Break it into small pieces as it cooks.
• Remove sausage from skillet and drain excess fat. Add chopped red onion to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
• Mix the cooked sausage back with the onions and sliced pepperoncini in a bowl.
• Slice slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the sausage mixture over the buns.
• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sausage mixture, then drizzle with Italian dressing.
• Place the top halves of the buns on sliders and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and buns are slightly toasted.
• Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
