The Cooking Process
Let’s Get Cooking!
Preheat Your Oven : Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want it nice and warm for those sliders!
Slice the Rolls : Next up, grab those King’s Hawaiian rolls and slice them in half. Arrange the bottom halves on a baking sheet, making sure they’re nice and snug next to each other.
Layer Your Fillings : Now, it’s the fun part! Layer on your deli roast beef generously, followed by those fabulous caramelized onions (that you’ve hopefully made! If not, they’re still great). Now add the gooey provolone cheese on top. Seriously, layer that cheese on thick!
Top It Off : Place the top halves of the rolls gently over the fillings. You want all that goodness tucked inside!
Brush on the Butter : If you want to get a little fancy (which I totally recommend), brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with a little garlic powder for some added flavor. This step brings the sliders to next-level!
Bake Away : Pop that baking dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes. Keep a close eye to make sure the cheese is melted and the tops are a glorious golden brown. You might want to remove them when they just start to get that perfect color!
Serve ‘Em Up : Serve warm with a side of au jus for dipping. The smell wafting from your kitchen will be incredible, and I promise your family will be clamoring at the table with excitement.

Why This Recipe Works
Crowd-Pleaser
These sliders are a hit with everyone! The flavor combinations and finger-food nature make them a favorite at parties and family dinners alike. Plus, the ability to dip them in warm au jus just makes it more interactive, and who doesn’t love a good dipping sauce?
Quick & Easy
Honestly, this recipe comes together in under 30 minutes, and the minimal steps make it perfect for weeknight dinners. You can prep while your oven is heating, making it super efficient.
Customizable
Want to add some sautéed mushrooms? Go for it! Don’t have provolone? Use mozzarella! The beauty of these French Dip Sliders is that you can adapt them based on your family’s preferences or what you have available in your kitchen.
Budget-Friendly
Using deli slices might sound fancy, but I promise you can score some great deals on them if you buy when they’re on sale. Plus, everything else is incredibly affordable, making it a great recipe for families on a budget.
Make-Ahead Friendly
You could prep the sliders ahead of time, pop them in the fridge, and bake them off right before dinner. Just be sure to cover them well so they don’t dry out. That way, meal prep becomes even easier!
Serving and Storage Tips
How to Serve This Recipe
These French Dip Sliders are perfect as an appetizer or as a main dish paired with a side salad or some crispy fries. I love adding a fresh green salad drizzled with ranch dressing on the side, it complements the flavors beautifully.
Storage
Leftovers? Yes, please! These sliders keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just make sure to store them in an airtight container!
Reheating Instructions
To reheat, just pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave them, but they’ll lose a bit of that crispy top; if that’s okay with you, go for it!
Freezer Friendly
While they are best fresh, you can freeze unbaked sliders. Just assemble them and wrap them tightly in foil, then store them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to eat, pop them directly from the freezer into the oven (you may need to add a bit of extra cooking time). It’s like having a delicious dinner ready at a moment’s notice!
