Pioneer Woman Hawaiian Roast Beef Sliders Recipe Ingredients
- 24 King’s Hawaiian Honey Wheat Rolls
- 24 slices roast beef
- 10 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) melted butter
- 2 tbls onion soup mix
How To Make Pioneer Woman Hawaiian Roast Beef Sliders
- Prep Oven and Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 13×9-inch pan with foil, allowing some to overhang the sides to use as handles.
- Assemble the Slider Base: Without separating the rolls, use a large serrated knife to slice the entire slab of rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom slab in the prepared pan.
- Layer the Fillings: Fold a slice of deli roast beef onto each individual roll section. Lay the Swiss cheese slices over the beef in a single, even layer.
- Add the Tops: Place the top slab of the rolls over the cheese.
- Make and Apply the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and the onion soup mix. Pour this mixture evenly over the top of the rolls. Cover the pan with foil and let the sliders sit for 10 minutes to allow the sauce to soak in.
- Bake the Sliders: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melty and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve: Use the foil overhangs to lift the entire slab of sliders out of the pan. Place on a cutting board, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm.

Recipe Tips
- How do I prevent the bottoms from getting soggy? The foil lining helps, but the key is not to let the sliders sit for too long after pouring the butter sauce on them before baking. The 10-minute rest is perfect for soaking in flavor without making the bottoms mushy.
- Can I use a different type of cheese? Yes, these sliders are fantastic with other great melting cheeses. Provolone, Havarti, or a mild cheddar would all be delicious substitutes for Swiss.
- Can I prepare these ahead of time? Absolutely. You can assemble the sliders completely (steps 2-4), cover them, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to bake, prepare the butter sauce, pour it over the top, and bake as directed.
- What’s the best way to cut the sliders? For the cleanest cuts, use a large serrated bread knife. It’s easiest to slice them into individual portions after they have been baked and have rested for a minute or two.

How To Store Hawaiian Roast Beef Sliders
Store: Place any leftover sliders in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat: For the best results and to keep the rolls from getting soggy, reheat the sliders on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, until warmed through and the cheese is melty.

FAQs
Can I use a different kind of roll?
Yes, you can use other soft dinner rolls, but the classic sweet flavor of King’s Hawaiian rolls is what gives these sliders their signature sweet and savory taste.
Can I add other toppings?
Of course! A thin layer of creamy horseradish sauce on the rolls before adding the beef would be delicious. Caramelized onions are also a fantastic addition to layer on top of the roast beef.
Why do you let the sliders sit after pouring on the butter?
Letting the sliders rest for 10 minutes before baking allows the savory butter and onion soup mixture to soak into the tops of the sweet rolls, infusing them with flavor and helping to create a golden, savory crust.
