Roast Beef Sliders

You’ll love this recipe if you like these Philly Cheese Steak Casserole and Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Bread recipes.

Toasting the Hawaiian rolls first helps keep the bottoms from getting soggy. As the sliders bake, the roast beef warms through, the Swiss and cheddar melt into one cheesy layer, and the everything bagel butter topping turns crisp and golden brown. For the deli roast beef, ask the deli to slice it thin, and use about ¾ to 1 pound, depending on how stacked up you like them. If horseradish isn’t your favorite, start with less and adjust to taste, or swap in Dijon mustard.

Just spread on the horseradish mayo, layer the roast beef and cheese, and bake until golden. You can also put the pan together up to a day ahead to make things even easier.

Serve straight from the dish with au jus or extra horseradish mayo for dipping. Leftovers reheat well without falling apart.

Recipe Notes

Deli Meat Notes: For best results, ask your deli counter for thinly sliced roast beef deli meat (medium-rare, if possible). You’ll need about ¾ to 1 pound, depending on how stacked you like your sliders.

Refrigerator Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place sliders in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a 350°F oven until heated through. Remove foil for the last 2-3 minutes to crisp the tops.

Freezer Storage: After baking, let sliders cool completely, wrap tightly in aluminum foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat covered with foil in a 350°F oven until warmed through, removing foil at the end to crisp the tops.
