Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 sweet rolls
- 10 slices provolone cheese
- 14 ounces sliced deli roast beef
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dried onion soup mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 3 cups water
- Fresh chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and cook 12–15 minutes until soft and lightly browned.
- Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir, remove from heat, and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Keeping rolls attached, slice horizontally and place bottoms in an 11×7-inch baking dish.
- Layer half the provolone, roast beef, onions, remaining cheese, and roll tops.
- Mix melted butter with onion soup mix and brush over rolls.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 5 more minutes until golden.
- Prepare au jus with water per package instructions.
- Serve sliders warm with au jus for dipping and garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Use dried thyme if needed—use half the amount.
- Sweet rolls are best, but any slider buns work.
- Provolone or mozzarella both melt beautifully.
- Au jus is optional but adds extra flavor.
- Freeze baked sliders and reheat in the oven for best results.
