How To Make The Best Beef And Cheese Sliders
- Prep the rolls by slicing the slider rolls horizontally and placing them in the bottom of a baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk BBQ sauce, mayo, and Dijon mustard, and spread the mixture evenly over the bottom half of the bread.
- Layer the roast beef and cheddar cheese slices over the BBQ mixture and place the top half of the slider rolls on.
- Add butter, brown sugar, remaining Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds to a small saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the butter mixture from the heat, and spoon it over the sliders.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake for another 5-8 minutes until the tops of the rolls are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into individual sliders and then serve.
Helpful Tips
- Use good quality Hawaiian rolls. They should be soft and fluffy.
- Thinly sliced roast beef works best in this slider recipe. This will help the sliders cook evenly.
- After baking, use a serrated knife to cut the rolls into mini sandwiches.
