🛒Ingredients

- Butter - Try unsalted butter. If you use salted, be mindful of extra salt when seasoning the onions.
- Onions - go sweet for the best caramelized flavor. White onions are okay, but they're sharper. Avoid red onions!

🥘 How To Make Roast Beef Sliders
PREP: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper.
STEP 1: In a pan, cook onions with oil, 1 tablespoon butter, salt, and black pepper until soft and slightly caramelized. Set aside.
STEP 2: Place bottom rolls on baking sheet. Layer 6 cheese slices, roast beef, caramelized onions, then another 6 cheese slices.
Add top rolls.
STEP 3: Mix 3 tablespoon melted butter, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and garlic powder. Brush mixture on top.
STEP 4: Cover with foil and bake 15-20 minutes until heated through and cheese melts. Top with poppy seeds before serving.
📋Tips
- To prevent soggy sliders, cut the bottom buns slightly thicker than the top ones.
- Use a big serrated bread knife to slice your rolls in half. The serrated edge cuts smoothly like a saw, without squishing or ripping the rolls.
- Best butter tip - Don't forget the melted butter and spices on these sliders. It crisps up the buns and adds tons of flavor, making these sliders stand out from the usual sandwiches.
✅ EXPERT TIP: For the perfect slider, note that certain cheeses may take up to 20 minutes to fully melt. If the tops start to brown too much, cover them with foil to prevent burning and ensure the cheese melts completely.
Storing Leftovers
- 🍱To Store. You can keep the leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. It's great to make and heat up if you need a quick lunch or snack.
- 🥶Freezing. You can freeze the sandwiches baked or unbaked for up to 3 months.
- To Make Ahead. Caramelized onions can be made 1-2 days in advance and refrigerated. For sandwiches, wrap them tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to bake. Just remember, that the buns may become soggy. When you're ready to bake proceed with baking instructions.
