Chipotle Roast Beef Sliders layer deli roast beef, provolone, cheddar, smoky chipotle sauce, and crisp fried onions inside sweet connected rolls. A buttery garlic-and-sesame topping turns golden in the oven while the cheeses melt around the warm beef.
The recipe makes 8–12 sliders, or 4 servings, in 20 minutes: 10 minutes to assemble and about 10 minutes to bake or smoke. Keeping the roll sheet connected makes the layers easy to distribute and the finished sliders simple to portion.
Chipotle Roast Beef Sliders Ingredients
For the base, use 1 package King’s Hawaiian sweet slider buns and 9 slices deli roast beef. The cheese layers need exactly 5 slices provolone and 3 slices cheddar cut into squares.
Add chipotle sauce to taste and French’s crispy fried onions. Finish the rolls with 3 tablespoons melted butter, garlic powder for sprinkling, and sesame seeds for topping.
