Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 slider rolls (such as Hawaiian rolls)
  • 12 oz sliced roast beef (deli style, thinly sliced)
  • 68 slices Swiss cheese (about 6 oz)
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • 2 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp soy sauce (optional)
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: sautéed onions, horseradish sauce, poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or baking sheet.
  2. Without separating the rolls, slice the entire block horizontally to create a top and bottom half. Place the bottom half in the prepared dish.
  3. Layer half of the Swiss cheese slices evenly over the bottom rolls.
  4. Layer the sliced roast beef evenly across the cheese.
  5. Top with the remaining Swiss cheese slices.
  6. Place the top half of the rolls over the layers and press gently.
  7. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian herbs. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle poppy seeds if desired.
  8. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 5-8 minutes, until tops are golden and cheese is melted.
  9. While sliders bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and black pepper in a small saucepan. Simmer gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  10. Cut and serve sliders warm with au jus for dipping.

Notes

For best results, use soft, sturdy rolls like Hawaiian rolls. Layer cheese both under and over the beef for extra gooeyness. Cover with foil while baking to keep rolls soft, then uncover to brown. Au jus can be adjusted for saltiness and flavor. Sliders can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving. For gluten-free or vegetarian options, substitute rolls and beef as needed.
