Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 dozen Hawaiian dinner rolls
- ¾ lb very thinly sliced deli roast beef
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 8 slices shredded cheddar cheese
Glaze
- ½ cup butter
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1½ tsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare Roast Beef. Toss the thinly sliced deli roast beef with the BBQ sauce until the meat is well coated and flavorful.
- Assemble Sliders. Slice each Hawaiian dinner roll horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a 9x13x2-inch baking pan, layer the BBQ-coated roast beef evenly on top, then add the shredded cheddar cheese slices. Place the roll tops on the cheese, completing the sandwich.
- Make Glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to blend the ingredients well.
- Apply Glaze and Bake. Pour the hot butter glaze evenly over the assembled sliders, ensuring the tops are well coated. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the tops are nicely browned and crispy.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use a smoky or spicy BBQ sauce.
- Cheddar cheese can be substituted with Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for variation.
- Make sure to slice the rolls carefully to prevent tearing.
- These sliders are best served warm right out of the oven.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
