🧂 Ingredients: Simple but Delicious

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes | Serves: 6–8

For the Sliders:

  • 12-pack sweet Hawaiian rolls or slider buns

  • 3/4 lb (340g) thinly sliced roast beef (deli or leftover)

  • 6–8 slices sharp cheddar cheese

  • Optional: caramelized onions or horseradish mayo

For the Butter Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

🔥 Step-by-Step: How to Make Roast Beef Sliders

1. Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Slice the Rolls

Use a serrated knife to cut the entire slab of rolls in half horizontally (keep them connected). Place the bottom half into the baking dish.

3. Layer the Filling

Start with a layer of roast beef, followed by cheddar slices. Optionally, add caramelized onions or spread a thin layer of horseradish mayo for extra zing.

4. Top It Off

Place the top half of the rolls over the filling.

5. Make the Butter Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and poppy seeds.

6. Brush and Bake

Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 12 minutes, then remove the foil and bake an additional 3–5 minutes until golden brown and melty.

7. Slice and Serve

Use a sharp knife to cut into individual sliders and serve warm. Watch them disappear!
