French Dip Hawaiian Sliders (Print Format)

Mini roast beef sliders on sweet rolls with cheese, golden onions, and warm au jus for a satisfying bite.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 pack Hawaiian rolls (12 mini rolls)
02 - 1 large yellow onion
03 - 1 tablespoon salted butter
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 1 pound roast beef, deli sliced, low fat
06 - 12 slices cheese (Swiss, provolone, or white cheddar)
07 - 1 pack au jus mix
08 - Fresh thyme (optional)
09 - Flour (optional for thickening au jus)

# Steps:

01 - Slice onion into thin slices after halving. Heat butter and olive oil in a pan on medium-low heat. Add onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir frequently for 45 minutes until onions are deep golden brown.
02 - Follow instructions on the au jus mix to prepare the sauce. Set aside.
03 - Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls intact to form a sheet of roll tops and a sheet of roll bottoms.
04 - Cut cheese slices into quarters. Place 2 quarters on each slider base. Fold roast beef slices and place two folds over the cheese. Add caramelized onions evenly and drizzle approximately 1/2 teaspoon of au jus over the onions. Place 2 more cheese quarters on top of the onions, then add the tops of the Hawaiian rolls.
05 - Brush a thin layer of au jus over the tops of the rolls and sprinkle fresh thyme, if using. Avoid covering the rolls with aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
06 - Place the assembled sliders on the middle rack in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and tops of the rolls are golden. Serve with remaining au jus.
