Ingredients

12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
8 slices Swiss cheese (or provolone)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced (optional)
1 (10.5-ounce) can beef consommé or beef broth
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Assemble the Sliders

Slice the slider buns in half horizontally (do not separate the individual rolls). Place the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
Evenly layer sliced roast beef over the buns. Top with Swiss cheese slices, then cover with the top halves of the rolls.

3. Make the Buttery Topping

In a small bowl, mix melted butter with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley (if using). Brush the mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.

4. Bake

Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil, then bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Prepare the Au Jus

While the sliders bake, pour beef consommé or broth into a small saucepan. Stir in dried thyme and black pepper and bring to a simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Slice the warm sliders, serve with individual ramekins of au jus for dipping, and enjoy!

Notes

Use good-quality deli roast beef for best flavor and tenderness.
Swap Swiss cheese for provolone or mozzarella for a milder or extra melted flavor.
If prepping ahead, assemble up to the baking step and refrigerate; bake just before serving.

Variations

Spicy Kick: Add thinly sliced jalapeños before baking for a spicy slider.
Caramelized Onion Sliders: Layer caramelized onions with roast beef and cheese.
Turkey French Dip: Substitute roast beef with sliced turkey and use chicken broth for the au jus.

Storage Instructions
