    Roast Beef Sliders Ingredients

    • Hawaiian sweet rolls
    • Deli-sliced roast beef
    • Slices of your favorite cheese (e.g., Swiss, cheddar, provolone)
    • Unsalted butter, melted
    • Dijon mustard
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • Dried minced onions
    • Poppy seeds (optional)
    • Garlic powder
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Roast Beef Slider Variations

    • Try different cheeses such as provolone, cheddar, pepper jack, etc.
    • Make them spicy by adding sliced jalapenos or drizzle hot sauce to your sandwiches.
    • Serve them french dip style by pairing with au jus to dip them in.
    • Add caramelized onions as a topping.
    • Switch up the sauce with a horseradish sauce or spicy brown mustard.
    • Swap roast beef with ham or your favorite deli meats.

    How to Make Roast Beef Sliders

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F.

    Prepare the Sliders: Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. Place the bottom halves of the rolls in a greased 9X13 baking dish.

    Layer the Roast Beef and Cheese: Lay the deli-sliced roast beef evenly over the bottom halves of the sweet rolls. If the slices are large, you can fold them to fit better. Next, place a slice of cheese on top of the roast beef on each roll (you may need to fold in half or cut into squares to fit).

    Assemble the Sliders: Place the top halves of the sweet rolls over the roast beef and cheese, creating sandwich sliders.

    Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dried minced onions, poppy seeds (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

    Brush the Sliders: Using a pastry brush, generously brush the glaze over the tops of the sliders, making sure to cover them evenly.

    Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 7-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through and tops are lightly brown.

    Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm and enjoy!

    Recipe Tips

    • Select high quality deli meats that are lean, tender and thin slices.
    • Use toothpicks or skewers to keep your sliders from falling apart.
    • Serve with dipping sauces to offer a variety for your guests to enjoy.
    • Lightly toast the rolls before assembling to give a crisp texture and prevent from getting soggy.

    Storing and Reheating

    • To Store: Wrap tightly with aluminum foil or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • To Freeze: Wrap each slider individually in plastic wrap or foil before placing them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in fridge overnight before reheating.
    • To Reheat: Reheat in oven, air fryer or microwave until warmed through.

    FAQs

    Can I use different types of bread for these sliders?

    Yes, you can definitely switch up the bread if you prefer something other than Hawaiian rolls. Slider buns or fluffy dinner rolls are great alternatives that will still give you that perfect bite-sized sandwich.

    Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can assemble them ahead of time (hold off on the garlic butter and poppy seeds until ready to bake), cover with foil and store in fridge for up to one day before baking. Or bake them, allow to cool completely, cover with foil and store in fridge for up to 3 days.

    Can I use another type of deli meat besides roast beef?

    Of course! You can use your favorite kind of deli meat such as turkey, ham or chicken. Just make sure they are sliced thin and can fit on the slider buns.

      This recipe is a keeper. The only changes I make: I use 2 packages of Hawaiian rolls because these get eaten quickly! I only use about half as much melted butter as what the recipe calls for, and it seems to be plenty. I also save the poppyseed to sprinkle on top of the buttered sliders before going in the oven.

      These were very good! My husband loved them!! I didn’t have Dijon mustard, so I just mixed 2 Tbs yellow mustard with about 1 1/2 Tbs mayonnaise and 1/2 tsp white vinegar. I added that to the melted butter and the rest of the sauce ingredients, and we really liked it that way. I will definitely be making these again.

      Great recipe. I sprinkled the crispy, french fried onions on the top of all the layers; adds some crunch and extra flavor.
