- Easy. 15 minutes of prep? Yes please!
- Versatile. Swap out the bread, meat, and cheese for a whole new flavor profile!
- Great for any occasion! Perfect whether it’s a party or a family dinner.
Ingredients
- Hawaiian Rolls – they’re fluffy and sweet making them the perfect vessel for juicy roast beef and tangy peppers. You’ll need 1 (12 oz) package.
- Provolone Cheese – a mild cheese that pairs beautifully with the other flavors of the dish. Feel free to use another cheese such as swiss, mozzarella, or fontina. Whatever you choose, you’ll need 1 (8 oz) package sliced cheese.
- Roast Beef – have it sliced fresh from the deli counter at the grocery store for the best results. Ask for 1 pound thinly sliced. If you’re looking for a more budget friendly option, opt for packaged roast beef. Feel free to use another deli meat, if desired.
- Pepperoncini Peppers – subtly spicy with a great tang! If you want more spice, try jalapeños instead.
- Butter Sauce – a combination of unsalted butter and a packet of dry Italian salad dressing. This simple duo adds a flavor punch that makes these sliders extra delicious.
How to make
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls, layer the meat, cheese, and peppers, then spoon the butter sauce over the top.
- Bake in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish at 350 degrees F until the cheese is melty and the beef is hot, then slice, serve, and devour.
How to make in advance
Assemble the sliders as directed, but don’t make or apply the butter sauce. Cover the baking dish tightly with saran wrap then place in the fridge. When ready, remove the saran wrap, mix together and pour on the sauce. Bake, adding additional time, if necessary, then serve and enjoy.
Variations
- Try a different type of bread. Dinner rolls, brioche buns, or ciabatta rolls could all be a great option.
- Layer on other cheeses. Anything that melts well should work! Mozzarella, fontina, gouda, havarti, monterey jack, or pepperjack are some ideas.
- Use another meat. Swap roast beef for sliced turkey, ham, or chicken.
- Add more veggies. Caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, cooked bell peppers would all make a great addition to these sandwiches.
- Spice up the butter sauce. Throw in minced garlic, fresh herbs, parmesan cheese, or even some red pepper flakes to mix it up.
Tips
- Don’t separate the rolls before baking, this helps keep them soft.
- If you’re serving this to kids, remove the seeds from the pepperoncini peppers for a milder flavor.
- Too dry? Serve these next to a dipping sauce of au jus, marinara, ranch, etc.
