I love having an excuse to make a bunch of sliders on any given Sunday just in the name of football. These are for the roast beef lovers out there. We’ve spiked your sandwich with a creamy nutty fontina cheese—one of the great melting cheeses—and topped it with a spicy Giardiniera and crunchy french-fried onions. Oh yah, those babies aren’t just for green bean casserole. Then the whole sourdough slider situation is bathed in a buttery poppyseed, onion mixture.
When thinly sliced roast beef is surrounded by all this crunchy, pickled, melty goodness it makes eating only one nearly impossible.

- Bake, covered, until the cheese is melted 15-20 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
