Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoon 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 for garnish
optional
Directions
- 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- 2
Add the onions and coat in the butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes until the onions are soft and browned but not burnt.
- 3
Add the thyme, salt, and pepper, stir to combine, take off the heat, and set aside.
- 4
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- 5
Take the rolls out of the package, leaving the rolls intact.
- 6
Take a large knife and slice the rolls across so you have the tops and bottom separated.
- 7
Place the bottom, cut side up into an 11x7 baking dish.
- 8
Top with half of the cheese.
- 9
Add the roast beef.
- 10
Top with the onions, spreading them out.
- 11
Add the remaining cheese, then add the tops of the rolls on top.
- 12
In a small bowl stir together the melted butter and onion soup mix.
- 13
I like to brush this mixture on top of the rolls to make sure it’s evenly distributed but you can just pour the butter sauce on top.
- 14
Cover loosely with foil, you want to make sure the foil is not touching the tops of the rolls and bake for 25 minutes.
- 15
Take the foil off and bake an additional 5 minutes to brown the rolls.
- 16
While the rolls are baking, prepare the au jus per the package directions with the water.
- 17
Serve the rolls with an optional garnish of parsley and au jus on the side for dipping.

About this Recipe
Craving the savory comfort of a classic French Dip sandwich, but need an effortless way to serve a crowd? These French Dip Sliders are your answer, bringing all those beloved flavors into a convenient, party-ready bite.
The magic lies in the symphony of flavors: tender deli roast beef nestled with sweet, fragrant caramelized onions and creamy provolone, all encased in buttery sweet rolls. A special savory topping made with melted butter and dried onion soup mix, combined with a rich au jus made from gravy mix, elevates these from a simple sandwich to something truly special. It's an ingenious take on a classic that's designed for ease and maximum flavor.
Expect a symphony of rich, savory notes with a delightful hint of sweetness from the caramelized onions and the rolls. The provolone melts into a luscious layer, complementing the thinly sliced roast beef. Each slider offers a tender bite, imbued with the savory depth of the au jus, making it an incredibly satisfying experience that’s perfect for sharing.
Feel free to customize these delicious sliders to your liking. Swap the provolone for Swiss cheese to lean into a more traditional French Dip profile, or try cheddar for a sharper flavor. While sweet rolls are called for, a savory slider bun could also be used for a less sweet base. If you're out of fresh thyme, a pinch of dried thyme (use less!) could work in the caramelized onions, or skip it if preferred.
These French Dip Sliders are ideal for game day gatherings, casual weeknight dinners, or any occasion where you want to impress with minimal effort. Serve them warm with extra au jus on the side for dipping, and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a touch of color.
