Cheesy Cranberry Bacon Sliders

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Arrange the bottom halves of slider buns on the bottom of a 9×13 casserole dish. If some of them are stuck together, I find that they come out of the pan more easily when you’re ready to serve if you pull them apart ahead of time.

Next, arrange the layers of the sliders. First the cranberry, next the turkey, then the bacon, and finally the havarti cheese.

Place the bun tops onto each slider. Melt butter in the microwave on 50% power for 1 minute, adding 15-second increments as needed until completely melted. Stir the poppy seeds into the melted butter and then evenly spread the poppy seed butter over all of the slider bun tops until the mixture is used up.

Bake in a 350º F oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The sliders are done when the cheese is melted and the centers of the sandwiches are hot. Serve immediately.
