French Dip Sliders
French Dip Sliders, famously viral for good reason, combine tender roast beef and melty Swiss cheese, all topped with the best buttery topping.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 12-count pkg. Hawaiian/soft rolls see note 1
- 1 pound deli roast beef see note 2
- 12 slices provolone cheese divided
- Optional: 1-½ cups French fried onions
Butter
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 packet au jus mix divided
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- ¾ teaspoon dried minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- PREP: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 2 tbsp butter all over 9x13-inch baking pan. Line pan with parchment paper.
- ROLLS: Using a serrated bread knife, carefully slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the individual rolls attached (See Note 1). Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared pan.
- ASSEMBLE: Layer with 6 slices of cheese, roast beef, optional french-fried onions, remaining 6 cheese slices and top slab of rolls.
- BRUSH ON BUTTER: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Add 1 tbsp of au jus mix plus remaining butter ingredients. Whisk until well combined. Spread mixture evenly over tops of rolls and sides (use about ¾). Refrigerate any leftovers for later use on steak or bread.
- BAKE: Bake the sliders uncovered until the cheese is gooey and tops of rolls are golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
- AU JUS: For au jus, heat remaining packet in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add cold water (whatever is indicated on package) and whisk. Bring to a boil, then simmer until slightly thickened.
- SERVE: Remove and cut sliders into squares, along the roll divisions, with a very sharp knife. Serve au jus with the sliders.

Made it! A great and tasty dish! One to make again and keep in the recipe file.
So thrilled to hear this was a hit!! Thanks so much for the comment Tina 🙂
Oh my gosh, these look beyond amazing. My husband would die of rapture because of the Hawaiian sweet rolls! I would never have thought to just use the whole package at once and pour that yummy topping all over it! I totally need to try these!
Awe thank you Melissa! 🙂
Can you use regular butter not unsalted?
Yes, but it will be salty! And I would recommend you don’t add in any additional salt to the dish. Enjoy 🙂
Just made these. Yummy . Took me 30 minutes from start to table. We did skip the onions. This is a keeper
So happy to hear this recipe was enjoyed! Thanks for the comment Jo 🙂
These were amazing! I love French Dips and I also love the ham sandwich version of these floating around, so when I saw this recipe I just knew I had to try them. These guys were such a hit with my family and they were even good the next day! I made a few extra since I had all the ingredients and my 9×13 would accommodate them and I am so glad I did! I forgot to put the melted butter in the bottom of the pan but I didn’t end up missing them. The fried onions were the perfect addition! If you’re on the fence about making these – go for it! Definitely a winner!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review Jen! I’m thrilled these sliders were a winner for you and your family 🙂
