Tips to Make French Dip Sliders

For extra flavor, consider seasoning the sliced roast beef with a bit of black pepper or your favorite steak seasoning before layering it on the rolls.
Use fresh slider rolls for the best taste and texture.
If you enjoy a bit of a kick, add sliced jalapeños directly to the sliders before baking.

Variation

You can easily customize these sliders by swapping out Swiss cheese for provolone or pepper jack cheese. You may also use chicken or turkey instead of roast beef for a lighter option.

FAQs

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the sliders and keep them in the fridge until you are ready to bake them. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they are cold from the fridge.

Can I use a different type of bread?
Absolutely! While slider rolls work best, you can also use cut-up baguettes or even mini hoagie rolls.

Is there a vegetarian option for these sliders?
Yes! You can replace the roast beef with sautéed mushrooms or a store-bought vegetarian meat substitute for a delicious meatless version.
