Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12-pack) Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 14 ounces thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 10 slices provolone cheese
- 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (plus more for melting)
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 packet au jus mix
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Water (for preparing au jus, according to packet)
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add sliced onions and cook 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown.
- Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Keep rolls intact and slice horizontally across the middle to create one top and one bottom layer.
- Place bottom half of rolls in an 11×7 baking dish, cut side up.
- Layer half of the provolone cheese over the rolls.
- Add roast beef evenly over cheese.
- Spread caramelized onions over beef.
- Add remaining provolone slices on top.
- Place top half of rolls back on.
- Mix melted butter with onion soup mix. Brush evenly over tops of rolls.
- Cover loosely with foil (do not let foil touch tops).
- Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until golden.
- Meanwhile, prepare au jus according to package directions.
- Serve sliders warm with au jus for dipping.
Notes
- Ask the deli to slice roast beef thin for best layering.
- Mozzarella or Swiss can replace provolone.
- Sliders can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated before baking.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven for best texture.
