The Game Plan
Get the sliders oven ready the day before the game. Cook the onions & peppers. Cool completely. Prepare the recipe as directed. Do not bake. Cover with foil & chill 24 hours. Pop the pan in the oven just before guests arrive.
16 sweet dinner rolls, sliced
16 slices Pepper-Jack cheese, cut in half
1 lb thinly shaved deli-style rare roast beef
1 Tbsp butter
1 medium sweet onion, sliced
1/2 large green or yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Gridiron Sauce
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 15 x 11-inch jellyroll pan with foil. Lightly grease the foil. Place the roll bottoms into the pan. Top evenly with half of the cheese, the roast beef & the remaining cheese. Set aside. Sauté the onion in the butter over Medium-High heat in a large non-stick skillet 4 minutes. Add the bell pepper & sauté 4 minutes more. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Spoon the onion mixture evenly over the roast beef. Cover with the roll tops. Cover the pan tightly with foil. Bake 20 minutes or until the cheese melts & the buns are lightly toasted. Meanwhile, prepare the Gridiron Sauce. Serve with the warm sandwiches.
The Extra Point
The sandwiches make a fun weeknight supper the entire family will love. Add a variety of colorful peppers to brighten up dinner plates.
