Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) sliced roast beef
- 12 slider buns
- 12 slices cheddar cheese
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Garnish Ingredient:
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even heating.
- Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or applying a light coating of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Split slider buns horizontally, creating a bottom and top layer. Arrange the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish to create a sturdy base.
- Layer roast beef slices evenly across the bun bottoms, creating a uniform meat coverage that extends to the edges.
- Distribute cheddar cheese slices over the roast beef, ensuring complete and consistent cheese placement.
- Carefully position the top halves of the buns over the cheese layer, gently pressing to create a compact sandwich structure.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder until thoroughly combined.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat the top of the slider buns with the prepared butter mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Loosely tent the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning, then place in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 10 minutes covered, then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts completely and the bun tops turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow cheese to set and flavors to meld.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the sliders for a fresh garnish before serving warm.
Notes
- Customize meat options by swapping roast beef with pulled chicken, turkey, or vegetarian alternatives like portobello mushrooms for dietary preferences.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium Worcestershire sauce and choosing low-salt roast beef from the deli counter.
- Prep ahead by assembling sliders up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerating, then bake when ready to serve for convenient entertaining.
- Elevate flavor profiles by experimenting with different cheese varieties like smoked gouda, pepper jack, or Swiss to add unique taste dimensions.
