Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack Hawaiian Rolls 12 mini rolls
  • 1 large Yellow Onion
  • 1 tbsp Salted Butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 lb Roast Beef Deli Sliced without a lot of fat
  • 12 slices Cheese Swiss, Provolone, or White Cheddar
  • 1 pack Au Jus
  • Fresh Thyme optional
  • flour optional thickener for the au jus

Instructions
 

  • Caramelizing the onions is easy, but it takes about 45 minutes of frequent stirring. Cut your onion in half, and then slice each half into thin thin slices. Add the slices to a pan on medium low heat with 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir frequently for about 45 minutes until onions are a deep golden color.
  • Make your au jus sauce and set it aside.
  • Cut your Hawaiian rolls in half while keeping the sheet of rolls in tact so that you have a sheet of roll tops and a sheet of roll bottoms.
  • Cut your cheese into quarters, which will give you 48 quarters. Add 2 quarters into each sliders.
  • Fold up each slice of roast beef neatly. Add two folded up slices of roast beef on top of your cheese. Then, distribute your onions evenly over the roast beef. Add a very little bit of gravy on top of the onions, approximately 1/2 teaspoon of gravy.
  • Top with another 2 squares of cheese. And then, top with the Hawaiian Roll tops. Brush a little gravy over the tops of each bun and then add a little fresh thyme on top of the gravy if you are using it. DO NOT cover the buns as aluminum foil will stick to the gravy.
  • Using the middle rack, bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted throughout all of the slicers and the tops of the buns are nice and golden. Serve with gravy.
