- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 5 tbsp melted butter (for topping)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (fresh or dried)
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
- Cook the Beef (Slow Cooker or Instant Pot):
- Slow Cooker: Rub beef with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder. Sear all sides in a hot pan with olive oil. Place into slow cooker with onion, broth, Worcestershire, soy sauce, brown sugar. Cover and cook LOW 7–8 hours or HIGH 4–5 hours. Shred with forks.
- Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker: Sear seasoned beef → Add liquids & onions → Pressure cook 60–70 min → Natural release → Shred.
- Assemble the Sliders: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice Hawaiian rolls horizontally (keep as a sheet). Spread a little butter on the bottom layer (optional but delicious). Add a layer of cheese → top with shredded beef → top with more cheese. Place top buns back on.
- Add the Butter Topping & Bake: Mix: melted butter + garlic + parsley + Italian seasoning + pinch of salt. Brush generously over the rolls. Bake 15–20 minutes until cheese is melty and the tops are golden.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add some hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- These sliders can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven.
- Feel free to customize the cheese according to your preference.
