How to Make It

Now, let’s dive into making these scrumptious sliders.

1. Preheat

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking for perfect sliders.

2. Arrange Buns

Slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves on a baking dish. This will create a sturdy base for your fillings.

3. Layer Fillings

Layer roast beef and caramelized onions on the buns. Distributing them evenly will help each slider pack a flavorful punch.

4. Add Cheese

Top with provolone cheese. The more, the merrier when it comes to melted cheese!

5. Cover with Tops

Place the top halves of the buns on the sliders. Ensure they’re pushed down gently to keep everything in place.

6. Mix Broth

In a separate bowl, combine beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This flavorful broth will soak into the sliders.

7. Pour Broth

Pour the broth mixture over the assembled sliders. Make sure to cover each slider for maximum flavor infusion.

8. Bake Covered

Cover with foil and bake for about 20 minutes. This helps keep the sliders moist during cooking.

9. Bake Uncovered

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

10. Serve

Serve warm with extra broth for dipping. This adds an extra layer of flavor that everyone will love.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, best enjoyed fresh.
Reheat: Microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.

• Use good quality roast beef for the best flavor.

• Pour extra broth directly over sliders right before serving for a flavorful finish.
