Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Rolls:
Use a serrated knife to cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally keeping the top and bottom pieces together for easy reassembly. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet large enough to fit all twelve.
Layer the Roast Beef:
Evenly distribute the deli roast beef over the bottoms of the rolls. Spread the slices out a bit so every bite gets some beefy goodness.
Sauce the Meat:
Spoon or drizzle the Arbys or barbecue sauce across the roast beef aiming for an even coating so the sauce leaks into each slider.
Add Cheese Sauce:
Drop spoonfuls of cheddar cheese sauce onto each slider then use a spatula or back of the spoon to spread it over the beef for full coverage. This keeps everything moist and cheesy.
Replace the Lids:
Gently lift and set the top halves of the rolls over the filling pressing slightly so they adhere.
Make Flavored Butter:
In a small bowl combine melted butter with garlic powder and onion powder. Mix well until the spices are fully dissolved.
Brush and Season:
With a pastry brush spread the flavored butter over the tops of the rolls coating right up to the edges. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over the buttered tops for a crunchy baked finish.
Bake:
Place the tray on the oven’s middle rack and bake at three hundred fifty degrees for twelve to fourteen minutes. The tops should be golden and the cheese bubbling.
Serve:
Slide a spatula underneath and carefully lift the sliders onto a serving plate. They are best eaten warm with extra sauce for dipping.

Cheddar is my secret star here. It melts so perfectly and wraps every bite in creamy goodness. I still remember my nephew’s face the first time I pulled these out of the oven—he thought they came from a restaurant.
Storage tips
Let leftovers cool completely before storing. Place sliders in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. They reheat best in a warm oven wrapped in foil to keep them moist and soft.
