Ingredient substitutions
Try brioche or potato rolls if you cannot find Hawaiian rolls. If cheddar cheese sauce is not available use thick slices of sharp cheddar for meltiness. For a different topping combine sesame and poppy seeds with a sprinkle of dried onions and garlic.
Serving suggestions
These sliders are a hit with pickle chips crunchy coleslaw or even a warm soup on the side. Serve them cut apart for easy grabbing or leave the tray whole and let guests pull them apart at the table.
Cultural context
Sliders have become an American favorite because they are hand-held warm and shareable. Using Hawaiian rolls adds a sweetness inspired by the classic party sandwiches you might remember from holiday buffets or potlucks growing up.
Pro Tips
- Slice the rolls while slightly chilled to help keep them neat and even
- Always cover the tops all the way to the edge with butter for the best golden crunch
- Do not skimp on the sauce since it keeps the roast beef juicy inside
