How to Make Roast Beef Sliders

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray an 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish. Slice the connected slider rolls in half and place the bottom half in the prepared dish. Bake for 5 minutes. Carefully add a layer of cheese and then roast beef.

Step 2: Assemble the Sliders. Top with more provolone cheese, if desired. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.

Step 3: Add the Butter Topping. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush the mixture over the tops of the rolls, then sprinkle evenly with poppy seeds.

Step 4: Bake and Serve. Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown, the cheese is melted, and the sliders are heated through. Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.

Storage Directions

Allow leftover sliders to cool before storing them so excess steam doesn't make the buns soggy.

Refrigerator: Store leftover Roast Beef Sliders in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in foil for up to 3-4 days.

Freezer: Wrap individual sliders tightly and place them in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating for the best texture.

Reheat: Cover the sliders loosely with foil and warm them in a 350-degree oven until heated through, removing the foil for the last few minutes if you want to crisp the tops again. Individual portions can also be microwaved, although the buns will be softer.

Make Ahead: Assemble the rolls with the roast beef and cheese, cover, and refrigerate. For the best texture, wait to brush on the butter mixture and add the poppy seeds until just before baking.

Serving Suggestions

• Fresh & Crunchy Sides: Balance the rich sliders with cranberry apple coleslaw, jalapeno coleslaw, a green salad, creamy cucumber salad, old fashioned cucumbers and onions in vinegar, pickles, or a fresh vegetable platter.
• Potato Sides: Serve with French fries, air fryer steak fries, tater tots, potato salad, or crispy roasted potatoes for an easy, filling meal.
• Game-Day Spread: Arrange the sliders on a large platter with dipping sauces or serve alongside boneless Buffalo chicken wings, nachos, dips, chips, mozzarella sticks, or other finger foods.
• Soup & Sliders: Pair with my grandma's cream of tomato soup, French onion soup, vegetable soup, or your favorite creamy soup for a comforting lunch or dinner.

Notes

Hawaiian slider rolls- you could use sweet slider rolls instead if needed.

Roast beef- you can make your own or use deli-sliced roast beef.

Butter- or margarine.

garlic powder

Worcestershire sauce

poppy seeds- optional, but add great texture and flavor.

You will need the following supplies:
9x13 casserole dish- or a similar casserole dish that fits all of your slider buns. 9x13 tends to leave some room around the sliders, which is perfect for scooping them out.

Knife or spatula for spreading ingredients onto the sliders

Small bowl

Cooking brush to brush the butter.

Non-stick cooking spray

Storage Instructions:
You can store these sliders in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze the sliders in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months; however, they may lose their texture when thawed.
