# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They vanish before you finish setting out napkins, which means you can skip small talk and let the food do the work.
  • The creamy Buffalo dip bakes right into the buns so every bite is messy, cheesy, and satisfying without needing a fork.
  • You assemble everything in one dish and the oven does the rest, leaving you free to actually enjoy your own party.
02 -
  • If you skip softening the cream cheese, you'll end up with lumps that never quite disappear no matter how hard you stir.
  • Don't overbake them or the buns turn dry and the cheese gets greasy, pull them out as soon as the tops are golden and the cheese bubbles.
  • Let them cool for just two minutes before slicing or the dip will slide right out and onto the cutting board.
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the buns before baking so you don't squish the tops and lose that airy texture.
  • If you like extra heat, mix a tablespoon of hot sauce into the dip or drizzle it over the cheese before adding the bun tops.
  • Press down gently on the assembled sliders before brushing with butter, it helps everything meld together and prevents the tops from sliding off.
