Roast Beef and Cheddar Hawaiian Roll Sliders

Sharp cheddar, roasted red pepper and a little grainy mustard give deli roast beef a warm sandwich-shop treatment with a little sweetness from the peppers and sharpness from the mustard. Pat the peppers dry; a tablespoon of their jar liquid can soak into the soft bread, and the meat needs only enough time in the oven to warm through while the cheese melts around its folds.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 12 connected Hawaiian sweet rolls about 12 oz
  • 12 oz thinly sliced deli roast beef
  • 6 oz sharp cheddar cheese sliced
  • 1/2 cup jarred roasted red peppers drained and blotted dry
  • 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F and line a 9-by-13-inch pan with parchment. Slice the connected Hawaiian rolls horizontally and place the bottoms in the pan.
  2. Spread mustard thinly over the bottoms. Layer half the cheddar, folded roast beef, dry pepper strips and remaining cheddar over the bread.
  3. Replace the tops and brush with butter mixed with garlic powder. Cover loosely with foil.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the center reaches 165°F.
  5. Rest for 5 minutes and cut into 12 sliders with a serrated knife.
