Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) deli-style roast beef (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup provolone or Swiss cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 12 slider buns
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 4 tablespoons (4 tbsp) butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) onion powder
Optional Topping:
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F, preparing a greased 9×13-inch baking dish for assembling the sliders.
- Split the slider buns horizontally, positioning the bottom halves across the prepared baking dish.
- Arrange thin slices of roast beef evenly over the bottom bun layer, creating a uniform meat coverage.
- Carefully place provolone or Swiss cheese slices directly on top of the roast beef, ensuring complete coverage.
- Crown the cheese layer with the top halves of the slider buns, creating compact sandwich stacks.
- Craft a flavor-packed glaze by whisking together melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small mixing bowl.
- Generously brush the prepared glaze across the slider bun tops, ensuring even distribution and maximum flavor absorption.
- Optional: Sprinkle poppy seeds over the glazed buns for added texture and visual appeal.
- Shield the baking dish with aluminum foil and slide into the preheated oven for 15 minutes of initial baking.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until the bun tops transform into a golden-brown crust and the cheese becomes perfectly melted.
- Extract from the oven and allow to rest momentarily before serving these delectable warm sliders.
Notes
- Customize cheese selection by swapping provolone or Swiss with sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or blue cheese for different flavor profiles.
- Make sliders gluten-free by using gluten-free slider buns or lettuce wraps, ensuring everyone can enjoy this delicious meal.
- Prepare ahead by assembling sliders up to 24 hours in advance, storing covered in the refrigerator and baking just before serving to save time.
- Enhance flavor by using high-quality, thinly sliced deli roast beef or leftover pot roast for a more tender and rich taste experience.
