Roast Beef Sliders with Hawaiian Rolls

Roast Beef Sliders are piled high with shredded roast beef and plenty of melted cheese on a soft Hawaiian roll. Brush a buttery sauce over the buns and bake to golden brown perfection! They're slightly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside!

Ingredients

For the Sliders

1 pkg 12 count King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
2 cups shredded roast beef
12 slices American cheese
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or garlic paste

Butter Sauce

4 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds or sesame seeds

Optional (for garnish after baking)

1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes optional
2 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray, or line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Lining the pan with parchment paper makes it easy to remove the cheesy roast beef sliders to a cutting board to cut after baking.
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise using a serrated knife so the top half is one slab and the bottom half is another.
Add the mayo sauce. Mix the mayo and garlic powder. Slather it over the bottom half of the rolls.
Add roast beef and cheese. Layer the roast beef and cheese over the sauce. Cover with the top buns.
Brush with butter sauce. Melt butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Add brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Whisk to combine. Brush the butter mixture over the top of the rolls. It’s a generous amount of butter sauce and that’s a good thing! Sprinkle with poppy seeds if you’d like. (You can also melt the butter in a small saucepan.)
Bake. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 5 more minutes. (To be honest, I forgot to cover my sliders when I put them in the oven. I baked them uncovered for about 20 minutes, then covered and finished baking. They are a little too done for my liking, but they were still delicious.)
Rest, cut, serve. Let rest for a couple of minutes (this helps keep the layers of roast beef in place). Move to a cutting board and cut the sliders into individual sandwiches.
Garnish the sliders with parsley and parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

Cheese: It's easy to substitute different kinds of cheese for this recipe. Cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, pepper jack, Colby jack, and Swiss are all great options!

Roast Beef: You can easily use sliced deli roast beef instead of shredded roast beef.

Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave or bake in the oven at 325 degrees until heated through. Baking in the oven will give the sliders a crispier top.

Servings: Nutritional facts are for one slider. My boys usually eat 2 sliders per serving.
