Description
These Saucy Roast Beef and Swiss Sliders are layered with savory roast beef, melted Swiss cheese, and a tangy buttery glaze, baked to perfection on soft slider rolls. Ideal for parties, game nights, or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- Slider Rolls: 12-pack, horizontally sliced – Soft, sweet rolls serve as the perfect base and top.
- Roast Beef: ¾ pound, thinly sliced – Tender and juicy, it brings rich, savory meatiness.
- Swiss Cheese: 8–10 slices – Melts beautifully and adds that signature nutty flavor.
- Mayonnaise: ¼ cup – Adds creaminess and helps anchor the layers.
- Dijon Mustard: 2 tablespoons – Brings a tangy kick to balance the richness.
- Unsalted Butter: 4 tablespoons (½ stick) – Forms the base of the luscious glaze.
- Worcestershire Sauce: 1 tablespoon – Adds umami depth to the buttery topping.
- Onion Powder: 1 teaspoon – Infuses subtle flavor into every bite.
- Poppy Seeds: 1 teaspoon – Adds texture and visual flair on top.
- Garlic Powder: ½ teaspoon – Rounds out the flavor with savory warmth.
- Salt: ¼ teaspoon – Balances the sauce without overpowering.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Set aside.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Place the bottom halves of the slider rolls in the baking dish in one even layer.
- Assemble the Dish: Spread the mayo-mustard mixture on the bottom rolls. Layer half of the Swiss cheese, then all the roast beef, then the remaining cheese. Top with the roll lids.
- Cook to Perfection: Brush the tops generously with the melted butter mixture. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Finishing Touches: Remove foil and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is fully melted.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm. Watch them disappear!
Notes
- Make the sauce ahead of time and store in the fridge.
- Toast roll bottoms lightly before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- Add jalapeños or pickles for extra zing.
- Use parchment paper for easier removal and cleanup.
