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.

How do you present it with the juice for an appetizer so there is no double dipping?

Hi ?Just made this wonderful recipe for tonight , it was super easy and it’s super delicious , my family loves it and it’s a keeper ??thank you for posting it on Pinterest .
Love it ?
So happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the comment 🙂
This was soooo yummy! My 17 yr old had 3 friends over so I had to feed them plus our family of 5. I doubled the recipe and had no problems fitting 24 Hawaiin rolls into a glass 9×13 pan. I only had salted butter so next time, I’ll use unsalted. I used Durkee onions because my kids LOVE them. These were excellent! The teens kept ranting about how great they were.
I try a lot of recipes and many aren’t as good as they look in photos. This is one I will definitely do again! A big hit at our house. Thank you Chelsea!
Cindy, this made my day. I’m so glad you guys enjoyed. It’s the best for big groups and get togethers! 🙂
I have never had a French dip sandwich and now I feel left out. Yummy!
This has become a family favorite! We have it a couple times a month. My husband brings leftovers for lunch and all of his coworkers are jealous!
I’m thrilled to hear this is a family favorite! 🙂 Thanks for the comment 🙂
These looked sooo yummy, so I decided to make them for dinner tonight for my family and I. ALL OF THEM – My husband, my 10 yr old and by 7 yr old could not stop raving over how delicious these were! My husband even forbid my kids to eat the leftovers because he wanted to have them for lunch tomorrow. The recipe was simple and easy to make, and the ingredients were inexpensive. The only thing I changed was I used fresh minced garlic, and it was fantastic. I will definitely be adding this dish to our regular dinner rotation. Finger licking’ good!
Haha!! SO happy these were finger licking’ good 🙂 Thank you so much for the comment and review 🙂
Made these this afternoon and my whole family LOVED them!! I did use the french fried onions and they were a great addition!!
Thanks so much for a new recipe to add to my family favorites!!
You’re welcome! Thank you for the comment and I’m glad these were a hit 🙂
Chelsea – Can I make a double portion of these and freeze half?
Or do you think the deli roast beef would freeze okay?
These were a huge hit for dinner last night! Everyone loved them! These would be great for potlucks/family get-togethers. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!
You’re so welcome!! I’m glad you liked these sliders 🙂
Would using prepackaged roast beef be ok?
Sure! 🙂
These look amazing and I can’t wait to try them….5 more minutes in the oven and it’s on. If the aroma is indicative of the taste then I’m in for a treat. Thanx Chelsea ???
You are welcome!! I hope you loved them 🙂
