Have you ever made Hawaiian roll sliders? They’re one of the most brilliant big-batch meals I know. Instead of building 12 separate sandwiches, you’ll slice the loaf of rolls in half horizontally and assemble the sliders as a single sandwich, waiting until you serve to pull them apart.

Between the easy assembly, the gooey, melted cheese, and the sweet, fluffy buns, there’s a lot to love about the two-bite rolls.

Ingredients

1 small yellow onion
1 small green bell pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, for garnish (optional)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 (12-ounce) package Hawaiian sweet rolls, such as King's
6 slices American cheese, preferably white
24 thin slices deli roast beef (about 24 ounces)
6 thin slices provolone cheese

Instructions

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F.
Thinly slice 1 onion and dice 1 green bell pepper. Finely chop 1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves for garnish, if desired.
Melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove 1 tablespoon melted butter to a small heatproof bowl. Add the onions, bell pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to the skillet, and cook until soft and browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
Without separating the rolls, cut 1 package Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom half of the rolls in an 11x7- or 9x13-inch baking dish.
Arrange 6 slices American cheese on the rolls, overlapping the slices as needed. Top with 24 thin slices roast beef (about 2 slices per roll). Spread the onions and peppers in an even layer over the beef. Arrange 6 thin slices provolone cheese over the beef, overlapping the slices as needed. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese. Brush the tops of the rolls with the reserved melted butter.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with the parsley if desired. Separate the sliders with a serrated knife before serving.
