Step-by-Step Overview
Making Easy French Dip Sliders is a breeze! You’ll start by preparing your oven and the slider rolls. Generously layer the bottom halves with savory deli roast beef and melty provolone cheese.

What You’ll Need
Gather these items for your delicious sliders:
- Slider rolls
- Deli roast beef
- Provolone cheese
- Beef broth
- Onion (optional)
- Butter
- Garlic powder
- Salt

If you’re out of provolone, feel free to swap it with mozzarella or Swiss cheese. You can also use leftover roast beef if you have it on hand!
Directions to Follow
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Split the slider rolls in half.
- Generously layer the bottom halves with deli roast beef, followed by slices of provolone cheese on top.
- Place the top halves of the rolls snugly over the cheese.
- In a small saucepan, combine the beef broth with diced onion (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat until the mixture is simmering.
- Brush the tops of the slider rolls with melted butter for a beautiful golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, until the cheese melts and the tops are delightfully golden brown.
- Serve the sliders warm, alongside the beef broth for dipping.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
These sliders are a fantastic centerpiece for any meal, but don’t stop there! Pair them with crispy oven fries, a fresh garden salad, or a bowl of creamy coleslaw. For a truly delightful experience, consider serving them with a side of tangy pickles or a zesty dipping sauce for an extra kick!
How to Store
To keep your leftovers fresh, store any uneaten sliders in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay good for about 3 days. When it’s time to enjoy them again, reheating in the oven is best to keep the bread nice and crispy. You can also microwave them, but you may lose that crunchy texture.
Helpful Cooking Tips
A few small tricks can elevate your French Dip Sliders. For added flavor, consider caramelizing the onions before layering them on the sliders. If you’re short on time, a sprinkle of onion powder can be a quick substitute. Always use high-quality deli meat for the best flavor!
Creative Twists
Want to customize your sliders? Try incorporating sautéed mushrooms or roasted red peppers for an added layer of flavor. If you’re looking for a healthier version, use turkey or chicken instead of roast beef. And for a more international flair, you can add some jalapeños for a spicy kick!
