Roast beef sliders with cranberry horseradish sauce
I love the combination of roast beef, melty provolone cheese, and a delicious just-slightly-tart-and-tangy, just-spicy-enough cranberry horseradish sauce. I use Dietz & Watson cranberry horseradish sauce, which is available in grocery stores and on Amazon. You can use other brands or any other favorite horseradish sauce.
The cranberry sauce makes this a great slider appetizer for the holidays.

Best rolls for sliders
Brioche bun slider rolls, Hawaiian rolls, or potato bread slider rolls are best to use for sliders because of their soft, chewy texture.
However, any small buns that are made specifically for rolls work great in this recipe.
This roast beef slider recipe is written to make 12 sliders, but you can double the recipe to make more, if serving these to a crowd.

How many sliders per person
The number of sliders to make per person depends on how much other food and appetizers you will have at your gathering. If sliders are one of the many appetizers, you can count on 1-2 sliders per person. If sliders are the main dish served with several substantial sides (such as a pasta salad and a potato salad), then you can make 2-3 sliders per person. If sliders are the main dish paired with lighter side dishes, such as a salad, you can count on 3-4 sliders per person, and I recommend making a couple of different kinds so that your guests don't get bored of the same slider.
How much roast beef do you need for sliders?
This recipe uses 1 lb of roast beef for 12 sliders. If you like extra meaty sliders, you can increase that to 1.5 lb, or add another deli meat, such as ham to the roast beef.

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your broiler. Line your baking pan with parchment paper or foil, or brush it lightly with olive oil.
Step 2: Slice the slider buns in half, if not pre-sliced. Spread horseradish sauce on the top halves of the buns and set aside.
Step 3: Arrange sliced roast beef on the bottom halves. I like to fold and roll the roast beef a little to add layers. Top with sliced provolone cheese.
Step 4: Place the bottom halves of the sliders (with the roast beef and provolone cheese) in the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt. (SET A TIMER AND DO NOT LET IT BURN!)
Step 5: Carefully remove from the oven, place the top halves of the buns on top. Optional: brush with melted salted butter. Place the covered sliders in the oven broil again for 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn the tops of the sliders.
Serve warm and enjoy the ooey gooey melty cheese as you bite into these warm, delicious sliders!
