Instructions

To Make The Tuna Filling

Add the tuna to a large mixing bowl, and use a sturdy fork to flake it apart.
12-16 oz canned tuna
Add all of the remaining filling ingredients to the bowl. Stir together until evenly combined.
1/2 cup diced celery, heaping 1/2 cup mayo, 1 tbsp dill pickle relish, 1/4 tsp celery salt, pepper

To Assemble The Sliders

Carefully remove the cut top half of the buns, and set aside. Arrange the bottom buns in a greased 8x8" baking dish.
1 16 count pkg sweet Hawaiian rolls
Spread the tuna mixture evenly out over the bottom buns.
Place the tomato slices followed by the slices of cheese evenly out overtop.
thinly sliced tomatoes, 6 slices Havarti cheese
Carefully place the top half of the buns on, lining up as needed to fit correctly.

To Make The Sauce

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium low heat. Once melted whisk in the remaining sauce ingredients until combined.
1 stick butter, 2 tbsp dried minced onion, 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp dried dill, 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Pour the butter sauce evenly out over the assembled sandwiches.
Cover the sliders with foil, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Bake the sliders, covered still, at 350° for 25 minutes.
Carefully uncover the sliders, and then bake for another 5 minutes- just until golden brown and crispy on top.
Slice & serve the sliders while still warm.

Notes

Don’t leave the assembled sliders in the fridge for longer than 2 hours prior to baking.
Feel free to omit the tomato slices if you don’t like tomato.
If you hate celery, you can skip it in the tuna.
