Ingredients
  

  • Sweet dinner sized rolls I use Hawaiian Rolls
  • 1/8 lb. thinly sliced muenster cheese
  • 1/2 lb. deli London Broil or Roast Beef sliced thin and rare
  • 1/4 lb. thinly sliced deli cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 small onion sliced
  • 6-7 hot or sweet cherry peppers roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup or so of Marinara sauce
  • 1/2 stick of salted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp. of mayonnaise
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of hot cherry pepper relish
  • about 1/2 tsp. of each: salt pepper, garlic powder
  • nonstick spray or butter for greasing the baking dish

Instructions
 

  • preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • slice open your rolls
  • Spray your baking dish with Pam or any nonstick cooking spray
  • Saute the chopped onion with the roughly chopped hot cherry peppers until golden. Set the stove to a medium heat. and saute until lightly golden
  • Slice the deli roast beef two times lengthwise.
  • Add the deli roast beef into the pan with the onions and hot cherry peppers and saute together for about 5 minutes or until the meat is incorporated with the veggies and browned.
  • Top the cheesesteak with the cheddar cheese and cover the pan with a lid until the cheese melts. This only takes 2-3 minutes.
  • Layer on bottom bun in this order: sliced muenster cheese, marinara sauce, melty cooked cheesesteak.
  • Mix together the mayonnaise and hot cherry pepper relish and spread over the top buns of the slider rolls. Top the sliders
  • prepare butter mixture and mix-mix: melted butter and seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder)
  • Brush the butter mixture over the sliders
  • bake at 375 for about 20 minutes covered with foil. Bake uncovered for about 10 minutes more. About 30 minutes total.
  • Remove from oven and basted with a little more melted butter if needed.
  • Enjoy the best sliders ever!

Notes

  • King's Hawaiian Rolls: or any other dinner rolls that are about 2 inches across. If you use my favorite, King’s Hawaiian Rolls, you’ll need a serrated bread knife to slice them through neatly! Here is an option:https://amzn.to/2RDHOAP

  • Pyrex dish: about 13x9 inches: https://amzn.to/3tmYXwx

  • NO SOGGY SLIDERS: The first layer is the cheese. Then, spread the marinara sauce over the cheese. This will create a barrier between the bread and the marinara. Your sliders will be crisp and delicious!

  • You can pour the butter mixture over the sliders, but for best results use a basting brush: https://amzn.to/3WZFfoU
