Beef Cheddar Sliders layer thin roast beef, warm cheddar cheese sauce, and tangy sandwich sauce through a connected sheet of twelve sweet Hawaiian rolls. A seasoned melted-butter topping browns in the oven, while keeping the rolls connected during assembly makes the whole tray fast and evenly portioned.

The recipe makes exactly 12 sliders, listed as 4 servings. Preparation takes 10 minutes, cooking takes 12 minutes, and the total is 22 minutes. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, then cool 2–3 minutes before separating the rolls.
