Let’s Make it together
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures everything bakes evenly while you prepare the sliders.
Prepare Your Buns: Slice your slider buns in half horizontally without fully separating them. Place them in a greased baking dish; they should be cozy but not cramped.
Add Roast Beef and Cheese: Layer generously sliced roast beef on the bottom half of the buns. Top with slices of Swiss or cheddar cheese until they’re almost spilling over—the cheesier, the better!
Spread Horseradish Sauce and Pickles: Drizzle horseradish sauce over the cheese; sprinkle on some pickles for that crunch factor. You can never go wrong with extra flavor!
Brush with Butter: Melt butter and brush it over the tops of the buns; this gives them that golden-brown look we all crave.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Pop the sliders in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until they’re hot and bubbly. Keep an eye out until those tops look irresistible!
After pulling them out of the oven, let them cool slightly before serving. Each slider is now ready to tantalize taste buds—grab one (or three) before they vanish!
