Let’s Make it together
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with nonstick spray to keep your sliders from sticking.
Layering Time: Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in the baking dish. Arrange slices of roast beef evenly across the buns while dreaming about how good these will taste.
Add Cheese and Mustard: Next, layer Swiss cheese on top of the roast beef. Drizzle Dijon mustard over everything—it’s like giving your sliders a fancy spa treatment.
Crowning Glory: Cap those creations with the top halves of the buns. Brush melted butter over each bun generously; this is what dreams are made of.
Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until everything is warmed through and the cheese is deliciously melted.
Serving Suggestions: Slice into individual sliders and serve warm. Consider pairing them with crispy potato chips or a fresh salad for some balance—if you feel like being healthy.
Enjoy every bite of these scrumptious roast beef sliders at your next gathering or simply savor them all by yourself—no judgment here!
