- If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce the amount of jalapenos used or omit them altogether.
- To make the sliders ahead of time, prepare them as directed and bake them for 10 minutes. Let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat them in the oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
