1 ½ tsp poppy seeds

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
Prepare Beef: Toss thinly sliced roast beef with BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
Assemble Sliders: Split each dinner roll horizontally and place the bottom halves in a 9x13x2-inch baking pan. Top each roll bottom with BBQ roast beef, then place a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cover with the roll tops.
Make Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and pour evenly over the sliders.
Bake Sliders: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the tops of the sliders are golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Serving Tips:

Best Served Warm: For optimal flavor and texture, serve the Beef & Cheddar Sliders warm, fresh from the oven.
Pair with Sides: These sliders pair well with a variety of sides such as coleslaw, potato salad, fries, or a fresh green salad to create a complete meal.
Garnish: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving for a burst of color and added flavor.
Presentation: Serve on a large platter for a party-friendly presentation, making it easy for guests to help themselves.

Storage Tips:

Refrigeration: Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat the sliders in a 350ºF oven until warmed through to maintain their crispy texture. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, but the rolls may not remain as crisp.
Freezing: To freeze the sliders, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Avoid Sogginess: To prevent the sliders from becoming soggy, reheat them uncovered in the oven rather than using a microwave. This helps retain the crispy top and fresh flavor.
