A while back, these French Dip Sliders went viral on Pinterest, and have been pinned over a million times. These Roast Beef Sliders are like them and are sure to be a big hit too! Roast Beef Sliders: Arby’s Copycat! During the first trimester of my pregnancy with my youngest, my appetite was very selective. Funny enough, Arby’s sandwiches and sliders (along with turkey sandwiches and this pasta salad) were among the few foods I found I could stomach. Luckily we lived right next to an Arby’s, which became my go-to for dinner, lunch, snacks, and I’ll confess, occasionally even breakfast, for a few weeks. So, believe me when I say I am very familiar with Arby’s sliders! This recipe is a throw-back to those very sandwiches that kept me going — we’ve got Arby’s horsey sauce along with melted Swiss cheese, and plenty of roast beef. These sliders are then coated in a savory herbed-butter mixture which makes them absolutely incredible. Roast Beef Sliders Ingredients Sliders: Hawaiian rolls: Grab soft, fresh rolls for the best texture. The sweet rolls are a nice contrast to the savory filling and topping. You could always make your own rolls if you’re wanting a project! Mayo: Use a good brand of mayo for the best creaminess. Best Foods® is my favorite and I recommend using full-fat. Horsey Sauce: The horsey sauce adds a unique, tangy flavor. Grab Arby’s horsey sauce from your local Arby’s or grocery store. If you can’t find it, don’t worry, these sliders are still tasty without it. Deli roast beef: Choose deli roast beef that’s sliced thin. The rarer, the better so it will stay tender and keep it’s moisture even after baking. Swiss cheese: Look for thinly sliced cheese that melts well for the best creaminess. Topping Butter: This is the base for the herbed-butter topping. Melt in the microwave then set it aside to cool down a bit before adding in the other ingredients. Dried Minced Onion: Adds a nice onion flavor to the butter topping. If you don’t love onions, replace with dried minced garlic. Dijon Mustard: Adds a tangy flavor and helps thicken the butter topping. Worcestershire Sauce: A small amount adds a rich flavor. Look for versions with less sodium if you’re watching salt intake. Poppy Seeds: Offers a sweet slight crunch. (Use leftovers in my favorite Poppy Seed Dressing). Garlic Powder: This adds a subtle garlic flavor throughout. How To Make Roast Beef Sliders Start with Oven and Pan: Turn on the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Slice the Rolls: Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, making sure to keep the individual rolls connected. (So you could open the “slabs” of rolls like a book!) Make Sauce: Mix mayo and horsey sauce in a bowl. Layer the Bottom: Spread the sauce on the cut sides of the bread. Put the bottom half in the dish. Layer with Swiss cheese, then roast beef, and another cheese layer. First Baking: Cook this bottom part in the oven for 10 minutes to melt the cheese. Mix Butter Sauce: While that bakes, stir together the ingredients for the butter sauce until smooth. Mix well to combine everything. Finish: Add the top half of the bread. Spread the butter sauce all over the top and sides. Bake again and enjoy! What To Serve With Roast Beef Sliders Salad: A simple Italian salad or some tangy coleslaw for some crunch. Potatoes: Try French fries, potato salad, or roasted potatoes for a filling side. Veggies: Roasted veggies like carrots or Brussels sprouts to add some color on the side. Pasta Salad: This Italian-dressed cold pasta salad is the perfect tangy side! STORAGE Leftovers? Cool completely: Let sliders cool to room temperature. Wrap tightly: Use plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat: Warm in the oven, air fryer, or microwave before serving.

Pour the butter all over, brushing generously on top and on the sides of the rolls. Be sure to cover all the bread (except the bottoms). (It's fine if you don't use it all or some of the butter pools at the bottom -- it will make the base crispy!)BAKE AGAIN: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Video Recipe NotesNote 1: Rolls: Keep the rolls intact and slice them in half horizontally so they open like a book. Note 2: The horsey sauce adds a unique, tangy flavor. Grab Arby's horsey sauce from your local Arby's or grocery store. If you can't find it, don't worry, these sliders are still tasty without it! Note 3: For the juiciest sliders, ask for the rarest roast beef from the deli counter to ensure it stays tender and doesn't overcook during baking. For less meaty sliders, use 3/4 pound of roast beef; for meatier sliders, use 1 pound.
