Ingredients Notes

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. Every ingredient plays a role in making these sliders irresistible.

Hawaiian rolls are the base for this dish. Their slight sweetness complements the savory roast beef and cheddar perfectly. You can also use dinner rolls or mini slider buns if you prefer.

Thinly sliced roast beef is the star of the show. You can grab deli-sliced roast beef for convenience or use leftovers from a homemade roast. Just make sure it’s tender and easy to layer.

Cheddar cheese provides that rich, creamy melt that makes these sliders so satisfying. Sharp cheddar works wonderfully, but you can use mild or even a blend of cheeses for variety.

The butter topping is the secret weapon. A mix of melted butter, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce brushed over the sliders before baking creates a golden, flavorful crust. Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra texture if you like.

No special equipment is needed for this recipe—just a baking dish and a brush for the butter topping.

How To Make This Easy Roast Beef And Cheddar Sliders Recipe

Creating these sliders is as simple as layering and baking. Here’s how it’s done:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and preparing a 9x13-inch baking dish. Slice your rolls in half horizontally, keeping the bottoms and tops connected. Place the bottom halves in the dish.

Layer thinly sliced roast beef evenly across the rolls, making sure each slider has plenty of meat. Follow with a layer of cheddar cheese slices, covering the roast beef completely.

Replace the top halves of the rolls, pressing down gently to compact the sliders slightly.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.

Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. They’re best enjoyed warm and gooey.

Storage Options

If you have leftovers (though it’s unlikely), these sliders store beautifully.

To refrigerate, place them in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days.

For longer storage, freeze the sliders. Wrap them individually in foil and store them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep well for up to 2 months.

Reheat refrigerated sliders in the oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. Frozen sliders can be reheated directly from the freezer; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Variations and Substitutions

These sliders are incredibly adaptable. Here are some ideas to switch things up:

• Swap cheddar cheese for provolone, Swiss, or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
• Add caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms for an extra layer of richness.
• Use turkey or ham in place of roast beef for a lighter option.
• Try a spicy twist by mixing a little hot sauce into the butter topping or adding a layer of sliced jalapeños.
• Make it vegetarian by using roasted vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant instead of meat.

The possibilities are endless, so don’t hesitate to get creative. Whatever variations you choose, these sliders are guaranteed to be a hit.
