- Not Using Enough Butter: Cowboy butter adds flavor and moisture. Don’t skimp on it; brush generously on the rolls for a delicious finish.
- Overstuffing the Sliders: While it’s tempting to add more filling, overstuffing can make them hard to eat. Stick to the recommended amounts for the best balance.
