French Dip Sliders are King’s Hawaiian Rolls layered with tender, slow-cooked roast beef, caramelized onions, and melted provolone cheese, brushed and baked with a garlic butter topping. Then, the sliders are served with au jus for dipping, bringing even more flavor to each bite! These can be enjoyed as the main dish or as a delicious appetizer.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, halved, sliced
• 1 package (12-count) King’s Hawaiian Rolls

6. Top with 4 slices of provolone cheese, roast beef, caramelized onions, and remaining slices of cheese.
7. Top with the top halves of the rolls.

9. Brush the garlic butter generously over the tops of the rolls.
10. Cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
11. Remove foil, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to toast the tops of the sliders.
