Cook techniques
Slicing Hawaiian Rolls
Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally while keeping them connected at the sides. This helps maintain the structure of the sliders and makes it easier to assemble.
Mixing Sauces
Combine the mayonnaise and prepared horseradish in a small bowl until smooth. This creates a flavorful spread that enhances the taste of the roast beef.
Layering Ingredients

Preparing Butter Mixture
In a separate bowl, mix melted butter with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This combination adds richness and flavor to the tops of the sliders.
Baking with Foil
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil while baking to help retain moisture, ensuring the sliders heat through without drying out.
