FAQ
Q: What is peameal bacon?
It’s a Canadian specialty—lean pork loin cured and rolled in cornmeal. It’s also called back bacon.
Q: Can I use regular bacon or ham instead?
Yes, both work well if you can’t find peameal bacon.
Q: Can I freeze these sliders?
Yes. Wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven (covered) until warmed through.
Q: Do I have to bake them, or can I serve right after assembling?
Baking helps melt the cheese and warm the buns evenly, but you can skip if you prefer quicker assembly.
