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.

Super easy to follow! These were absolutely delicious!! The rolls are perfect because of their subtle sweetness. There is such a perfect little crunch on the bottom. Overall, everything about this recipe was spot on! Sooooo good!!! Thank you for sharing!
Yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed these! They are definitely a family favorite at my house! Thanks Amanda! 🙂
Hi! This recipe looks amazing and the only thing the fam can ever agree on is sliders! Question about the meat though, says deli meat.. so it’s not packaged already? Right.. I’d go to the deli part and ask for the meat? Lol sorry!
Right! 🙂 I go to the deli section of the store and ask for it there! Enjoy!
Could I freeze these?
I haven’t personally tried freezing these, but I don’t think these would hold up the best with the cheese and soaked bread. Wish I could be of more help!
Wonderful recipe. I used the butter savory Hawaiian rolls because I don’t like the sweet rolls. Worked out wonderfully. Definitely one for the regular dinner rotation.
Oooh this would be great with the savory Hawaiian rolls! I’m so glad you guys enjoyed! 🙂
Hello- in your experience do you think I could get away with pre-assembling everything, minus the butter mixture, and freezing until ready to bake?? I’m trying to pre-assemble some items for a family trip, and would love to include this recipe!
Thanks!

These French Dip Sliders are delicious! Made then for a family Party and everyone loved them! Made a double recipe. Even the littles enjoyed them! Thank you for sharing this recipe. Will use it again and again.
Ahh i’m so glad to hear! Glad you guys enjoyed:)
I have made these twice now for church get togethers and they always disappear quickly. I leave the onions out and they turn out just as delicious! Thanks for making me a believer in Pinterest recipes. Will be making these again!
LOVE hearing that! Thanks for the comment Debbie 🙂
Chelsea, I have made theses 3 times for guests and everyone always wants the recipe. My son made them for his Super Bowl party. I did make these earlier in the day except for the au jus mixture. Covered them and took out about 30 minutes before I baked them. Made the sauce earlier and just warmed it up to pour over. It worked.and saved me time right before the guest came. Love them, thanks!!
So happy to hear these have been a hit! 🙂 Thanks for the comment Nancy!
