Ingredients Notes

The magic of these sliders lies in the quality of simple, carefully selected ingredients. Each one contributes to the dish's perfect flavor and texture.

The Hawaiian rolls form the base of these sliders. Their soft, sweet texture contrasts beautifully with the savory fillings, but any soft dinner rolls will work if you can’t find Hawaiian rolls. Be sure to slice them evenly in half, keeping the bottom half intact to support your fillings.

The deli-sliced roast beef is essential for a flavorful sandwich. Opt for high-quality, thinly sliced roast beef from your grocery store’s deli counter. The beef's tenderness is key, and choosing quality ensures a juicy, well-seasoned bite in every sandwich.

Sharp cheddar cheese provides that rich, melty factor we all crave. The tanginess of the cheddar complements the beef perfectly. Feel free to use sliced cheese for ease, but if you prefer shredding your own, it melts even better.

For the buttery glaze, you'll use melted butter mixed with garlic powder and a sprinkle of dried parsley. This simple mixture brushed over the rolls makes the sliders extra flavorful and golden. The buttery finish not only enhances the taste but also makes the tops wonderfully crisp.

No fancy equipment is required. A baking dish, a brush for the butter glaze, and some foil to cover the sliders while baking are all you need.

How To Make This Easy Roast Beef And Cheddar Sliders

Making these sliders is a breeze, even if you're short on time. Let’s walk through the process together to get these mouthwatering sandwiches on your table.

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, take a large baking dish and spray it lightly with nonstick spray. Then, carefully slice the whole pack of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.

Next, layer your sliced roast beef evenly across the rolls. Make sure to cover every inch so you get a bit of beef in each bite. Follow up by placing the slices of cheddar cheese on top of the roast beef. Again, ensure the cheese covers all areas for maximum melt and flavor.

Once your layers are complete, place the top half of the rolls back over the cheese. Now, it's time for the magic touch: the buttery glaze. Melt your butter in a small bowl and mix in some garlic powder and a sprinkle of dried parsley. Using a brush, generously spread this mixture over the tops of the rolls. The butter adds flavor and helps create that golden, crispy texture we love.

Cover the sliders loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes to let the cheese melt. Afterward, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden brown. The total time should only take about 20-25 minutes.

Once done, let the sliders cool for a minute or two before slicing them into individual portions. The melted cheese may stretch enticingly as you separate them – a sure sign of deliciousness.

Storage Options

Leftover sliders? No problem! These sliders store well and can be enjoyed even the next day. Place any extras in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

To reheat, pop them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. This keeps the rolls from becoming soggy, and the cheese will remelt beautifully.

You can also freeze the sliders for later. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about these sliders is how easy they are to customize. Here are some ideas to change things up while still keeping that irresistible flavor.

Switch up the cheese if you like. While sharp cheddar provides a robust flavor, you can use provolone or mozzarella for a milder taste. If you love spicy flavors, consider adding slices of pepper jack.

You can add extra flavor with spreads. For example, a thin layer of horseradish sauce or creamy mustard between the beef and cheese adds a subtle, tangy kick. Just be mindful of the quantity, as too much sauce can make the sliders soggy.

For a veggie boost, add a layer of thinly sliced bell peppers or onions under the cheese. They’ll add crunch and a hint of sweetness that pairs well with the roast beef and cheddar.

Experiment with different roll varieties. If Hawaiian rolls aren’t your thing, use classic dinner rolls or even mini ciabatta buns for a more rustic sandwich.

Feel free to experiment and make this recipe your own. The base is simple and forgiving, so get creative and have fun with it!
