Instructions

Caramelize onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, 12–15 minutes until soft and browned (not burnt).

Season: Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prep rolls: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Keeping rolls intact, slice horizontally to separate tops and bottoms. Place bottoms (cut side up) in an 11×7 baking dish.

Layer sliders: Add half the provolone, then roast beef, then onions spread evenly. Top with remaining provolone and place roll tops on.

Butter topping: Stir melted butter with onion soup mix. Brush (or pour) evenly over tops of rolls.

Bake: Cover loosely with foil (don’t let it touch the tops). Bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 5 more minutes to lightly brown.

Make au jus: While sliders bake, prepare au jus using gravy mix + water per packet directions.

Serve: Garnish with parsley if desired and serve warm with au jus for dipping.

Notes

Dried thyme option: Use dried thyme instead of fresh—just use half the amount.

Best buns: Sweet rolls are classic, but any slider buns work.

Cheese swaps: Provolone is perfect; mozzarella or Swiss also work great.

Au jus: Optional, but it’s what makes them “French dip.”

Freezer-friendly: Assemble, wrap tightly, and freeze. Bake from thawed (best texture) and add a few extra minutes if needed.
