Why These French Dip Sliders Are So Popular
These sliders are everything you love about a classic French dip sandwich but in a fun, shareable form. The sweet rolls toast beautifully, while the layers of roast beef and provolone melt into a cheesy, savory stack. The caramelized onions add richness, and the buttery onion soup topping enhances every bite. Serve them with warm au jus, and you’ll have a meal that’s comforting, flavorful, and impossible to resist.
Ingredients That Boost Big Flavor
Simple ingredients come together to create deep, satisfying flavor. Sweet rolls provide a soft base. Provolone melts into creamy perfection. Roast beef adds classic deli-style heartiness. Homemade caramelized onions and thyme offer aroma and warmth. The onion-soup butter mixture gives the sliders their golden, seasoned crust. Pair it with a side of au jus, and you get that signature French dip taste.
How to Make French Dip Sliders
Start by caramelizing onions until soft and golden. Slice the rolls horizontally and layer cheese, roast beef, onions, and more cheese. Brush the seasoned melted butter over the tops. Cover and bake until hot and melty, then finish uncovered to brown the rolls. Prepare the au jus and serve these sliders warm with plenty of dipping sauce. They come together easily and bake beautifully every time.
Serving Suggestions
These sliders pair perfectly with warm au jus for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color. Serve them as game-day snacks, casual dinners, or party appetizers. They can also be made ahead or frozen for quick meals.
