Ingredients

SAUCE:

  • 16 ounces barbecue sauce we used KC Masterpiece Honey and Molasses BBQ Sauce for this recipe
  • 1 cup apricot preserves
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar lightly packed
  • dash garlic powder

SLIDERS:

  • 12 count Kings Hawaiian rolls
  • 2 cups beef brisket finely chopped (SEE NOTES)
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Everything But the Bagel seasoning mix
  • fresh parsley, chopped optional

Instructions

SAUCE:

  • Pour the BBQ sauce in a medium size saucepan, and add the apricot preserves, brown sugar and garlic powder, and stir well to combine.
  • Heat over medium heat until the sauce is bubbly. Remove from heat and let cool.

SLIDERS:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Finely chop the brisket until you have 2 cups of chopped meat.
  • Remove the rolls from the package. Using a large sharp serrated knife, cut the rolls in half lengthwise. Set the bottom of the rolls in a baking dish.
  • Add the chopped brisket to the rolls, top with the bbq sauce and cover with the cheese slices on top.
  • Place the roll tops on top of the sandwiches and brush the tops with melted butter. Sprinkle Everything but the Bagel Seasoning and chopped parsley (is using) over the buns.
  • Cover the pan with foil, and place the dish in the oven. Bake for about 10 minutes or just until the cheese melts and the sandwiches are heated through.
  • If you like your sliders toasty on top, remove the foil and bake for 1 more minute, watching them constantly to make sure they don't get too brown on top.
  • Remove dish from the oven, cut sliders and serve with the remaining BBQ sauce.

Notes

  • I used leftover beef brisket, but you can buy it already cooked from the deli, grocery store or your favorite BBQ restaurant.
  • You want to chop the meat into smaller pieces so it's easier to eat.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
  • I used Swiss cheese, but you can use other melting cheeses like provolone, cheddar, or American if preferred.
  • To serve: arrange the beef brisket slider sandwiches on a platter, allowing guests to help themselves.
  • These sandwiches are best eaten the day they are made but you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them at 300 degrees F in the oven or air fryer until heated through.
  • Nutritional information will vary based on how much barbecue sauce is used.
