Easy roast beef sliders
This roast beef sliders recipe is one of my favorite party food recipes. The tender roast beef, melted Swiss cheese and that hint of oniony goodness from the soup mix all come together in these little bites of perfection.
For the roast beef, I recommend springing for high-quality roast beef from the deli counter. Freshly sliced is best. As for the cheese, I chose Swiss cheese, but any type of cheese would work, like provolone cheese or white cheddar cheese.
These sliders are easy to make, great for sharing and the perfect appetizer for any casual get-together. Whether it’s game night, a casual dinner with family, or just a weekend treat, these sliders are a crowd-pleaser.
Plus, they’re so versatile – you can customize them with your favorite toppings or sauces. The best part is that you can assemble them ahead of time and pop them in the oven when you’re ready to get the party started.

Ingredients for roast beef sliders
- King’s Hawaiian Honey Wheat Rolls: These are the buns for our sliders – they’re soft, a bit sweet and just perfect.

Substitutions: If you’re not a fan of Swiss cheese, you can use white cheddar cheese, provolone cheese or any other sliced cheese you like. You can also use regular Hawaiian sweet rolls instead of whole wheat.
