Game Day French Dip Sliders

Screw the boring ham and cheese sliders. Make these meaty fulfilling sliders that everyone will enjoy.

So easy to make. I made these at my friend’s home just before the football game started. They went quick!!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened

12-count pkg. Hawaiian/soft rolls see note 1

1 pound deli roast beef see note 2

12 slices provolone cheese divided

Optional: 1-½ cups French fried onions

Butter:

8 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 packet au jus mix divided

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

¾ teaspoon dried minced garlic

½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions:

PREP: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 2 tbsp butter all over 9x13-inch baking pan. Line pan with parchment paper.

ROLLS: Using a serrated bread knife, carefully slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the individual rolls attached (See Note 1). Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared pan.

ASSEMBLE: Layer with 6 slices of cheese, roast beef, optional french-fried onions, remaining 6 cheese slices and top slab of rolls.

BRUSH ON BUTTER: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Add 1 tbsp of au jus mix plus remaining butter ingredients. Whisk until well combined. Spread mixture evenly over tops of rolls and sides (use about ¾). Refrigerate any leftovers for later use on steak or bread.

BAKE: Bake the sliders uncovered until the cheese is gooey and tops of rolls are golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

AU JUS: For au jus, heat remaining packet in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add cold water (whatever is indicated on package) and whisk. Bring to a boil, then simmer until slightly thickened.

SERVE: Remove and cut sliders into squares, along the roll divisions, with a very sharp knife. Serve au jus with the sliders.
