What is a Slider?

A slider might be my favorite type of sandwich mostly because it’s mini size. Plus, you can make a delicious slider recipe with all kinds of ingredients and flavors. 

Possibly the most popular slider is a classic burger. A mini size burger on a small bun with classic toppings. There are also popular slider recipes made with Hawaiian Rolls in a casserole dish that makes many at one time. This recipe for French Dip Sliders is one made with Hawaiian Rolls and stacked with roast beef, onions and melty provolone cheese. Makes 12 sandwiches and it’s a delicious, melty, cheesy dinner. 

What ingredients are in French Dip Sliders?

The ingredients are pretty simple for this slider recipe.

  • slider rolls (hawaiian rolls are the best)
  • provolone cheese
  • butter
  • onions
  • garlic Worcestershire sauce (please don’t make me say it out loud)
  • onion powder
  • salt/pepper
  • au jus powder seasoning
  • sliced deli roast beef

What Kind of Bread should I use in this recipe?

You can really use any type of bread you like for this french dip recipe. Any type of mini bun will work. However, I will always suggest using Hawaiian Rolls. They are a bit sweet, the perfect size and 12 of them fit nicely in a casserole dish to bake all at once. 

They make all kinds of slider rolls so you can pick any kind that you like, all will work great in this slider recipe. 

How about cheese?

A typical French Dip Sandwich uses Provolone cheese. That will usually be my first choice for a French Dip Slider. However, you can really use any cheese you like with this recipe. Other cheeses to try are: mozzarella, pepper jack, cheddar. 

How to make a French Dip Slider Sandwich?

This recipe for French Dip Sliders is pretty easy with not many ingredients or steps. Plus, it comes together in about 30 minutes. 

  • Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Then cutting the Hawaiian Rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottoms of the rolls in the bottom of the baking dish. 
  • Layer the provolone cheese on top of the buns and set aside
  • In a skillet, melt the butter, onion, and garlic together. Cook until onions are soft, then add the onion powder, pepper, Worcestershire, au jus powder, and roast beef slices. 
  • Cook everything together for a few minutes until heated through
  • Top the roast beef mixture onto the top of the cheese and rolls. Then add the tops of the Hawaiian Rolls. 
  • Melt butter in the microwave and then add the garlic and Worcestershire. Mix and then brush the butter mixture over top the Hawaiian rolls

Best way to Store Leftovers?

We are a small family so sometimes we have leftovers to save for another day. The best way I’ve found to store these is simply in an air tight container. I love these storage containers for leftovers.  These don’t freeze very well and will end up soggy when you try to heat them up. 

Best way to heat up leftover French Dip Sliders?

The goal in heating up leftover French Dip Sliders is to get the meat and cheese heated and melty but not make the Hawaiian Roll soggy. 

First choice is the oven. Do 300 degrees, place the sliders in an oven safe container and cover with foil. Heat for 10 minutes or until heated through. 

If you don’t want to take that much time, you can heat these sliders up in the microwave. Heat on a 50% power and heat at 30 second increments.
