A Super Bowl Party SLIDER That IS Touchdown Worthy

Transform your favorite sandwich into a shareable, dippable game day appetizer with these French dip sliders. We took all the best parts of the classic French dip—melty, provolone cheesy, flavorful roast beef, caramelized onions and the au jus (of course)—and incorporated them into slider form, so everyone at your Super Bowl bash can have a taste. Plus, these sliders are quick and easy to make (ready in under an hour!), so whether you’re looking for a way to feed your family or crew, these cheesy, extra-flavorful sliders are the way to go. Serve other comfort foods like Homemade French fries or sweet potato; fries, or fresh made Potato chips; Italian pasta salad or macaroni salad;Loaded baked potato bites;Any warm dip such as Reuben dip for the sliders;Veggie tray with dip; Hash brown potato casserole or classic potato salad to complete the meal.

The ingredients:

— The buns. Any slider buns will work beautifully in this recipe. If you want an extra sweet and pillow soft slider, go for Hawaiian sweet rolls.

— The meat. While we use boneless ribeye steaks to make our classic French dip, we went with thinly sliced deli roast beef for these sliders for ease and convenience (plus, they’re still completely delicious).

— The toppings. In our book, no French dip is complete without provolone cheese and caramelized onions. Tip: We cook our onions for only 15 minutes on the stovetop because they’ll continue to cook in the oven, so don’t overcook before assembling your sliders!

— The au jus. Ah, the star of the show. We created our au jus with just a few simple ingredients: garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire and thyme. Cooked down until reduced, this simple au jus is an absolute dipping must for these sliders.

What to serve with French dip sliders: yields:

These sliders would be an excellent filling addition to your game day appetizer spread, but if you’d prefer for the sliders to be the star of the show, serve these alongside roasted potatoes, sweet potato chips or coleslaw.
