These sliders combine savory roast beef and melted cheese on sweet rolls, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Equipment
- large skillet
- Baking dish
- small bowl
- foil
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 count sweet rolls
- 10 slices provolone cheese
- 14 ounces sliced deli roast beef
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dried onion soup mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 3 cups water
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Melt butter in a skillet, add onions, and cook until soft and browned, about 12-15 minutes. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper, then set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and slice the rolls horizontally, placing the bottom halves in a baking dish.
- Layer provolone cheese, roast beef, and onions on the bottom halves, then top with remaining cheese and the tops of the rolls.
- Mix melted butter with onion soup mix and brush over the rolls, then cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to brown the tops.
- Prepare au jus according to package instructions using water and serve with sliders, garnished with parsley if desired.
Notes
Dried herbs can replace fresh herbs; use half the amount. Any slider buns can be used, though sweet rolls are preferred. Provolone and mozzarella are recommended cheeses. Au jus is optional but enhances flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven.
