Ingredients Notes

Simple ingredients are all you need to make these irresistible sliders:

Roast Beef: Use thinly sliced deli roast beef for convenience, or use leftover roast beef if you have it on hand.
Cheese: Provolone cheese melts beautifully and complements the beef’s savory flavor. You can also use Swiss, cheddar, or mozzarella.
Slider Rolls: Soft and slightly sweet Hawaiian rolls are the perfect base for these sliders.
Butter Glaze: A mix of butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and seasonings adds a rich, savory finish to the rolls.
Optional Add-Ons: Caramelized onions, horseradish sauce, or sautéed mushrooms can elevate these sliders even further.

No special equipment is needed – just a baking dish and a basting brush for the glaze.

How to Make Roast Beef Sliders

These sliders are as easy to make as they are to eat. Follow these simple steps:

Prepare the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the bottoms intact. Place the bottom half in a greased baking dish.
Layer the Ingredients: Arrange the sliced roast beef evenly over the bottom layer of rolls. Top with a generous layer of provolone cheese slices. Place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
Make the Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, melt butter and stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, a sprinkle of garlic powder, and optional dried parsley. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
Bake to Perfection: Cover the sliders with foil and bake for 10 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the tops of the rolls are golden and slightly crisp.
Serve and Enjoy: Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing them apart. Serve warm and watch them disappear!

In under 30 minutes, you’ll have a tray of warm, cheesy sliders ready to impress.

Storage Options

If you have leftovers (though they rarely last long), here’s how to store and reheat them:

Refrigerate: Store the sliders in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freeze: Wrap individual sliders tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat: To reheat, bake at 350°F until warmed through. If frozen, let the sliders thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Variations and Substitutions

These sliders are versatile and easy to customize. Here are a few ideas:

Cheese Alternatives: Try cheddar, pepper jack, or Havarti for a new flavor twist.
Add Veggies: Layer caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, or even roasted red peppers for added flavor and texture.
Make It Spicy: Add a spread of spicy mustard or horseradish sauce for a little heat.
Garlic Bread Rolls: Brush the rolls with garlic butter instead of the classic glaze for a bold flavor.
Swap the Protein: Use thinly sliced turkey, ham, or even shredded chicken if you’re out of roast beef.

Feel free to mix and match ingredients to suit your preferences!

Roast beef sliders are the perfect combination of savory, cheesy, and satisfying. Whether you’re whipping them up for a party or a cozy dinner, these sliders are guaranteed to impress. Try them out and watch your family and friends ask for seconds (or thirds!). Enjoy!
