We are always on the hunt for great new recipes that make dinner time easy for our busy family. Dinner time is one of the most important times you can spend with your family. But it is not always easy to make the time for it on those busy weeknights!
SLIDERS
This recipe was originally found over at Chelsea’s Messy Apron. We made a few very slight alterations to fit our family. The kids all LOVED this and that is sometimes difficult in a large family with different eating preferences.

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. unsalted butter softened
- 12 each Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 pound deli roast beef
- 12 slices provolone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups French fried onions
Seasoned Topping
- 6 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 packet Au Jus seasoning mix separated
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp. dried minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Spray the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.
-
Do not separate the rolls into individual rolls. Take the entire block of 12 rolls and slice through the rolls creating a top section and a bottom section.
-
Place the bottom half of the rolls in the baking dish.
-
Top with 6 slices of the provolone cheese, roast beef, french fried onions, remaining 6 slices of cheese, and the other half of the rolls, in that order.
-
In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave.
-
Mix in 1 tablespoon of the au jus seasoning mix, Worcestershire sauce, sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, onion powder, and whisk until well combined.
-
Top the rolls evenly with this mixture. Top until well coated. You may have some leftover that you can set aside and use to dip the sandwiches in while eating if you want.
-
Bake uncovered for 12- 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
-
Remove and cut the sliders into 12 separate slider sandwiches and serve immediately.
-
While the sliders are baking, take the remaining au jus mixture and place in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 cups cold water and whisk. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer to allow it to slightly thicken.
-
Serve with the sandwiches.

AU JUS
We use the rest of the Au Jus Dipping Sauce packet, we whip up some French Dip Sandwich Dipping Sauce that the kids can use to dip their French Dip Sandwiches in. I personally and not a big fan of the dipping sauce, but I have a couple of kids who are big dunkers, and they are happy to take my portion.

Am I missing something? How do you use the 2 tablespoons of butter listed under Sliders?
Heather- The butter is used to coat the bottom of the pan before placing the sliders. You can also just spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray if you prefer. Sorry so confusing. Thanks.
Perfect for Sunday dinner after church!
Becca- They really are!
These are perfect! Sometimes, those bigger French dip sliders can be too huge! These are the right size & look fabulous!
Hi Amy, I tried these tonight- they were very good, however, the coating that you make to brush on was very thick. I looked back at the recipe and I was wondering if you are only suppose to use 1 TBS. of the butter or should it be more (like a whole stick)?? I am not sure why mine turned out so thick. Please let me know. I would love to make them again but trying to figure out what I did wrong.
Carla- It is actually 6 TBS of butter. Did you use only 1 TBS? If so, that may be the reason why it turned out so thick. Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope you give it a try again.
Fam really loves it! So easy to make and tasty! Will surely have this again, thanks a bunch for sharing this Slider recipe! Highly recommended!
Allyssa- So happy you enjoyed them.
I love sliders and this was absolutely delicious! Who would have thought French dip sliders could be made this way? These were so easy and we can’t wait to make them again.
Lisalia- They really are so easy.
Love the size! It can get hard dipping a regular size slider, but these are the perfect and great for entertaining! They are so good!
Natalie- They really are so good!
When we have a family over, then we make these. They’ve been a hit & are just so good!
Kristyn- They really are such a hit!
