🧀 Recipe of the Week: Butterkäse Chicken & Bacon Sliders

A warm, melty recipe that puts Red Handcrafted Cheese Butterkäse front and center!

Ingredients
• 12 Hawaiian rolls
• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 8 oz Butterkäse, sliced or shredded
• ¼ cup ranch dressing
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp dried parsley

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Slice the rolls in half as one large sheet and place the bottoms in a baking dish.
3. Spread ranch over the rolls, then layer with chicken, bacon, and plenty of Butterkäse.
4. Add the roll tops.
5. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley, then brush over the tops.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake another 5–8 minutes, until golden and the Butterkäse is perfectly melted.
7. Slice and serve warm.

Why Butterkäse? Its mild, buttery flavor and super-creamy melt make it perfect for hot sandwiches and sliders.
