First, they’re so easy to make. With just a few ingredients and less than 30 minutes, you can create a delicious dish that looks and tastes impressive.

Ingredients Notes

These sliders rely on a handful of ingredients, each chosen to create the perfect balance of flavors and textures:

• Roast Beef: Thinly sliced deli-style roast beef is convenient and flavorful. If you have leftover roast beef from a meal, it works beautifully here too.
• Cheese: Swiss cheese is the classic choice for its mild, creamy flavor, but provolone, cheddar, or even pepper jack can add a unique twist.
• Slider Rolls: Soft Hawaiian rolls are my favorite for their slight sweetness, but any soft dinner rolls will work.
• Butter Topping: A mixture of melted butter, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and dried parsley creates a golden, flavorful crust on the sliders.
• Optional Additions: Horseradish sauce, Dijon mustard, or a drizzle of au jus adds extra depth to the flavors if desired.

You’ll also need a baking dish or sheet pan to assemble and bake the sliders.

How To Make Roast Beef Sliders

These sliders come together quickly with just a few simple steps. Let’s walk through the process:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and preparing a baking dish or sheet pan. Lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Rolls: Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected. Place the bottom layer in the prepared baking dish.
3. Layer the Ingredients: Spread a thin layer of horseradish sauce or Dijon mustard (optional) on the bottom half of the rolls. Add a layer of thinly sliced roast beef, followed by a generous layer of cheese slices. Top with the other half of the rolls.
4. Brush with Butter: Melt the butter and mix it with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and dried parsley. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the rolls, letting it seep into the cracks.
5. Bake the Sliders: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. These are best enjoyed warm!

Storage Options

If you have leftovers (though they rarely last!), these Roast Beef Sliders are easy to store and reheat.

• Refrigerator: Place leftover sliders in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 325°F (163°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
• Freezer: To freeze, wrap the assembled but unbaked sliders tightly in foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Bake directly from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, covered, then uncover for the last 5 minutes.
• Individual Portions: Wrap individual sliders in plastic wrap for an easy grab-and-go option.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about these sliders is how adaptable they are. Here are some variations to try:

• Cheese Choices: Swap Swiss for provolone, mozzarella, or even pepper jack for a spicier kick.
• Add Vegetables: Include caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted red peppers for extra flavor and texture.
• Spicy Kick: Add a thin layer of spicy mustard or hot sauce for a bold, tangy flavor.
• Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free rolls to make the recipe suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
• Dipping Sauce: Serve with a side of warm au jus for dipping, giving the sliders a French dip-inspired twist.

These Roast Beef Sliders are a guaranteed hit, whether you’re serving them to guests or enjoying them as a family meal. Their warm, cheesy, and buttery goodness is simply irresistible. Try them for your next gathering or quick dinner – you’ll be coming back for seconds!
