Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 (1 ounce) envelope au jus mix
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope Italian salad dressing mix
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope onion soup mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 12 King's Hawaiian rolls
  • 2 tablespoons chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoons creamy horseradish sauce
  • 3 pounds beef roast chuck roast recommended
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese cut in half to fit rolls

Equipment

  • Slow cooker
  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together water, salsa, onion soup mix, Italian dressing mix, and au jus mix until well combined.
  2. Place beef roast in the slow cooker and pour the seasoned mixture over it, ensuring the meat is well coated.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until the beef is fall-apart tender.
  4. Once cooked, shred the beef using two forks and allow it to rest in its juices.
  5. Prepare the chipotle sauce by combining sour cream, chili sauce, and horseradish sauce in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  6. Preheat your broiler. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and arrange the bottom halves on a baking sheet.
  7. Place Swiss cheese slices on each roll bottom and broil for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and bread lightly toasts. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from broiler and top each roll with a generous portion of shredded beef.
  9. Spread chipotle sauce on the top half of each roll, then place on top of the beef to complete the sliders.
  10. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For best results, use chuck roast as it becomes incredibly tender when slow-cooked. You can adjust the horseradish amount in the sauce depending on your heat preference. These sliders pair perfectly with crispy potato chips, sweet potato fries, or a light coleslaw to cut through the richness.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and often taste even better the next day. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
