Pin This RecipeEasy Hawaiian Roll Sliders
It’s a big weekend in football. We find out who will play in the Super Bowl in a few weeks! Are you planning on watching the games? We definitely will be watching. We will also be eating these delicious Beef & Cheddar Sliders! Roast beef, BBQ sauce, melty cheese, and a sweet and savory glaze on top. YES!
How to Make Beef & Cheddar Sliders
These beef and cheese sliders are very easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. Cut a package of Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom half of the rolls in a baking dish. In a bowl, toss thinly sliced deli roast beef with bbq sauce. Layer roast beef and cheddar cheese on the bottom buns. Replace the top of the rolls on the sandwiches. In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Brush the top of the rolls with the butter mixture.
- I use Hawaiian rolls, but you can substitute slider buns if you prefer.
- If the rolls start to get too brown in the oven, cover them with foil.
- The rolls do get a little crispy when baking. For softer rolls, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil before baking in the oven.
- Sometimes I had cooked bacon slices to the sandwich – have mercy!
- Can Beef & Cheddar Sliders be made in advance? Yes! You can assemble sandwiches ahead of time and refrigerate until you are ready to bake. I would wait and pour the glaze on top of the sliders until you are ready to bake. The sliders might get soggy otherwise. The glaze only takes a minute to whip up. Preheat the oven, heat the glaze, pour over the rolls, and bake. Easy peasy.

Can these be made with shaved steak vs the roast beef?
I don’t see why not
Good recipe but way to much butter. Can’t believe I just said that but I had to sop up butter with paper towels. Still turned out good though. Thanks
Soooo good!! Will be making again.
Can these be made ahead of time and frozen?? thinking of taking some on a camping trip and wanted to prep as much as possible ahead of time…
Has anyone made this with their own roast beef/not deli? If so, do you have any suggestions about how you cooked the beef?
Roast beef done in the crockpot so it’s super tender then shredded works perfectly for these.
This sounds so yummy! I shouldn’t be reading it when I’m hungry! Will definitely be trying this!
I make these with horseradish cheddar and skip the BBQ sauce and they are always a hit🤤
Looking to try mixing with mild horseradish and swiss cheese.
Do you have to use deli meat or could you use left over roast beef??
You can use whatever you prefer.
Just made this tonight, as my 2nd ever Pinterest meal! Absolutely incredible! I made two pans. The 2nd I ended up taking out early, like at about 12 minutes though.
I made this over the weekend for a big football game. They were super easy and really delicious. Everyone loved them. A few notes based on my preferences: I used only about 1/4 C. of bbq sauce. I spooned and spread the sauce over the layered beef once they were on the roll bottoms. This I think kept the bottoms from getting too soggy and also you can still taste the delicious beef this way. For the topping, I cut everything in half and it was more than enough. I think a whole stick of butter would be WAY too much. The 1/2 stick melted was the perfect amount and didn't make the sandwiches too rich or oily.
Will definitely make again and again and again!
These were so good. I made two pans and they were gone in five minutes.
Omg these are the best!! Thank you for sharing.
Should I spray the baking dish first?
You can if you wish. It never hurts 🙂
Do the rolls get soggy on the bottom?
no
Cooking now during the Rams vs. St. game going into OT! 1/20/19.
Oh I can't wait to make this for the super bowl! i would have never guessed it was deli meat!
