These sliders are a flavor-packed combination of tender shredded beef, caramelized onions, and melted cheese, all nestled in soft Hawaiian rolls. The claypot method ensures the beef is fork-tender and infused with rich flavors, while the caramelized onions add a deep, jammy sweetness. Serve them with warm jus for dipping to elevate every bite.

Take your time caramelizing the onions as they are the key to the flavor.
If the mixture looks watery after shredding the beef, reduce it longer before building the sliders.
Gruyère provides the best flavor, while provolone offers the best melt—both work well.
Can I use a different type of beef?

What if I don’t have a claypot?
You can use a Dutch oven or slow cooker instead; adjust the cooking times accordingly.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the beef and onions in advance, store them in the fridge, and assemble the sliders just before baking.
What’s the best way to caramelize onions?
Cook them low and slow with butter, salt, and sugar, stirring occasionally until they turn deep golden and jammy.
