What is good to serve with French Dip Sliders?
Lots of options for sides that would go great with this Slider recipe. My favorites would be:
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.
