Recipe FAQs

Can I make roast beef sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders and refrigerate them. Bake just before serving for the best results.

What type of rolls work best for roast beef sliders?

Soft slider rolls, such as deli or Hawaiian rolls, are ideal for this recipe because they hold the ingredients well.

Why are my sliders soggy?

Sliders can become soggy if they absorb too much moisture from toppings. To prevent this, lightly toast the buns before assembling and serve immediately.

How much deli meat should I use per slider?

Use a little over one ounce (1.33 ounces) per slider.
