Instructions

1
Slice the slab of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a baking dish.
2
Layer the Muenster cheese over the rolls, followed by the deli roast beef, and then the cheddar cheese.
3
Place the top half of the rolls back on.
4
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, sesame seeds, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of the au jus gravy mix, salt, and pepper.
5
Pour the butter mixture over the top of the sliders and use a brush to spread it evenly. Reserve the bowl for the dipping sauce.
6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through (e.g., at 350°F for 15-20 minutes).
7
While the sliders are baking, prepare the au jus. Add water to the reserved bowl with the butter sauce remnants and swirl to combine.
8
Pour the water mixture into a small saucepan and add the remaining au jus gravy mix.
9
Bring the sauce to a boil, whisking constantly, until it thickens slightly.
10
Remove the sliders from the oven. Cut into individual portions and serve warm with the au jus for dipping.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Slice roast beef as thinly as possible at the deli counter—thinner slices create a tender, cohesive filling.
Brush the butter mixture evenly across all rolls to ensure even browning and moisture.
Do not overbake; watch for cheese to melt and roll tops to turn golden (usually 12–15 minutes at 350°F).
Let sliders cool 2–3 minutes after baking so cheese sets slightly; they hold together better when plated.

Substitutions

Muenster cheese → Swiss cheese (slightly milder, still melts smoothly)
Hawaiian sweet rolls → brioche slider buns (less sweetness, richer texture)
Deli roast beef → thinly sliced prime rib or leftover roasted beef (if available)
Au jus packet → homemade beef broth reduction with Worcestershire and butter
