How To Make Cheesy Roast Beef Sliders (Printable Full Recipe Card)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, or casserole pan, with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. You can also line the pan with parchment paper to make it easier to lift the sliders out and cut them for serving (I like to do this).

Slice the attached hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise using a serrated knife, making sure to keep the bottom half and top half pieces intact (don’t separate the rolls, keep it as one piece). Place the bottom half piece in the prepared baking dish.

Layer on half of the cheese slices, followed by the thinly sliced roast beef, then the remaining half of cheese slices, and then top it off with the top half of the hawaiian rolls. 

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, parmesan cheese, dried minced onion, and glare powder. Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls using a pastry brush. 

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted. 

Cut the sandwiches into individual servings (12 pieces) and serve warm!

What Are Some Substitutions I Can Make?

• Hawaiian Sweet Dinner Rolls : You can also use savory hawaiian butter rolls or you can use slider buns. Just make sure that whatever you are using comes in a package similar to the Hawaiian rolls; rolls that are stuck together, not separated at all, and rolls that you can cut horizontally and end up with a top half piece and bottom half piece. 
• Cheddar Cheese : Other options are provolone cheese, Swiss cheese, muenster cheese (I love using his one!), or Colby jack cheese. 
• Salted Butter : You can use unsalted butter if you prefer or need a lower-sodium option. 

Recipe FAQs

Can I Double The Recipe?

Yes! If you are doubling the recipe to feed more people then be sure to double all the ingredients. I would also recommend using a baking sheet, or sheet pan, to place the two sets of hawaiian rolls onto it, so there is room to cook both at the same time. 

How Do I Cut The Sliders For Serving?

It’s best to use a serrated knife to cut the sliders into the individual slider rolls for serving. I also like to line the baking pan with parchment paper, that way I can lift the sliders out of the pan and place them onto a cutting board, to cut them easily into individual sliders. You can also just use the knife and cut the sliders while they’re inside the baking dish. 

Can I Add A Layer Of Mayonnaise, Or Something Else, To The Inside Of The Sandwiches?

Yes, this is a common addition to sliders. You can spread on a layer of mayonnaise, dijon mustard, honey mustard, or creamy horseradish sauce (or a combination of a few of them) on the bottom half of the rolls before layering on the cheese and meat. I would recommend only spreading a thin layer of any condiments so that the sliders don’t become soggy. I prefer cooking the sliders as is, and then for serving, those who want to can add some mayo or mustard, or other toppings. I hate soggy sliders which is why I don’t bake the sliders with any sort of sauce in them. 

Can I Add Pickles or Peppers?

Yes you can add pickles or peppers to the dish if wanted. I recommend that you add any pickles or peppers after baking to avoid a soggy sandwich. If you prefer to bake them inside the sliders, then make sure you pat them dry with paper towels before placing them onto the sandwiches for baking.
