Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) thinly sliced roast beef
- 12 slices cheddar cheese
Bread:
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) onion powder
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a baking dish with a light grease coating or parchment paper lining.
- Keep the slider buns connected as a single sheet and carefully slice horizontally, creating a top and bottom section.
- Spread a smooth, even layer of mayonnaise across the bottom bun surface within the baking dish.
- Arrange roast beef slices uniformly over the mayonnaise, then top with cheddar cheese for complete coverage.
- Gently position the top bun section over the cheese layer, creating a complete slider assembly.
- Combine melted butter with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and onion powder in a mixing bowl.
- Generously brush the prepared sauce mixture across the entire surface of the top buns, ensuring complete and even distribution.
- Shield the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and cheese to soften.
- Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until buns turn golden and cheese becomes fully melted.
- Optional: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant garnish.
- Serve immediately while warm for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Customize the meat by using leftover roast chicken or turkey for a lighter protein option.
- Swap regular slider buns with gluten-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Consider reducing butter quantity for a healthier version without compromising flavor intensity.
- Prep these sliders ahead of time and refrigerate before baking for convenient meal planning.
