Grab and goooooo…

Except don’t go too fast. 

These are a great dinner for “grab n go” nights…those nights when you’re family is moving in 3 different directions.

You could also drop the warm slider bake on the table and let everyone grab a few sliders for their plates. 

Whatever kind of evening you’ve got going on, this yummy Chicken Nugget Slider Bake will be adored by all! 

How to Make Chicken Nugget Slider Bake

Slice the slider buns along the equator.

Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place the bottoms of the sliders into the dish.

Spoon the marinara sauce onto the bottom buns. 

Warm the nuggets, as directed on package.

Place 1 nugget onto each bun.

Top with sliced cheese, then…

The tops of the slider buns. 

 

Melt the butter in a glass measuring cup and mix in the garlic and seasonings.

Generously brush the melted butter combo over the top.

Bake. 

Once baked, slice the sliders in the dish, so they are easier to pull apart for servings. 

Enjoy every bite!!
