# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The warm, beefy au jus takes these sliders from ordinary to absolutely unforgettable
  • Theyre perfect for feeding a crowd without spending all day in the kitchen
  • Everything gets melty and golden in the oven while you casually pour drinks
02 -
  • Don't skip warming the beef in the au jus it makes such a difference in flavor and texture
  • Let the sliders rest for just a minute after baking so the cheese sets slightly and doesn't slide off completely
03 -
  • Brushing the bun tops with melted butter mixed with a pinch of garlic powder takes them over the top
  • If your rolls are especially large, you might need an extra slice of cheese to cover the beef completely
