Ready to jump on the slider train? Let's check out the short and sweet ingredient list.

Ingredients for the Yummiest Roast Beef Sliders Recipe

True to the word, here are five simple ingredients you need to put these lip-smacking-good sliders together:

• Deli Roast Beef - That's our meat choice for the yummy game-day meal. Use thin roast beef slices so they fit in perfectly in the bun (and your mouth)!
• Slider Buns - I prefer Hawaiian slider buns for their sweetness and softness, but you can use whatever you like. No rules here!
• Provolone Cheese - Piccante or Dolce, you choose! Piccante has a buttery and spicy flavor profile, whereas dolce is sweet. Whichever you choose, it'll be stretchy! Mozzarella cheese works perfectly fine instead of Provolone; expect a low-key tang. If you want to switch it up, cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese won't disappoint you.
• Everything Bagel Seasoning - Poppy seeds+onion powder+toasted sesame seeds+salt+garlic powder = yumminess! Buy a ready-made mix or make your own.
• Cooking Spray - The quickest and easiest way to grease the pan.

The recipe card at the bottom has all the quantities mentioned.

Topping Choices

It's your game night, so I'll leave the choice to you!

I like my sliders with horseradish sauce (horseradish mayo).

or au jus sauce (a clear and savory butter sauce with Worcestershire and beef broth).

You can also serve them with a delicious mix of mayo and ketchup!

Variations and Substitutions

While keeping it simple is always my favorite, there are tons of ways to spice up these simple roast beef Sammies!

Top with poppy seeds instead of Everything Bagel Seasoning. This still gives it that little added texture right on top!

Spread the bread with dijon mustard before baking. If you like the sliders really saucy, add some on before baking!

Add sliced red onion to the sliders before you pop them in the oven for a burst of freshness!

Tools Needed

Make your life easy with these tools:

• Serrated Knife - to slice through the buns like they're butter.
• A Small Bowl - in case you're making your own seasoning.
• An Air Fryer - if you want a low-oil version of the roast beef sliders.

Tips and Tricks

• Freeze your leftover Hawaiian rolls in an airtight container and reheat them in an air fry before using them again.
