If you are having a bash this weekend, dig on this! When I have people over to the house, it is all about the food and drinks. Guests don’t care about it being fancy, but it has to taste good. I like to make as much as I can in advance so I can “entertain” (According to my wife, entertain = me being loud and drunk.)
So instead of doing burgers and dogs, I decided to do Pot Roast Sliders. I made about 40 of these for under $20
Pot Roast
2 Pot Roast (Costco, $12.48) (1 pictured)
Bag of dinner rolls from (Costco $4.00)
Beef Broth (about 2 cans. $1.00)
Salt & Pepper
Rosemary & Thyme
Horseradish Sauce
Sour Cream
Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon Juiced
Salt/Pepper
Horseradish, strained
Take the Pot Roast and put a ton of rosemary, thyme (I have it mixed in my pantry) and salt/pepper. I have a Le Crusset Dutch oven (spend the money and get one), so heat olive oil on medium and drop a small piece of fat in to check. If it sizzles you are ready. Seer one side for about 8 minutes, once it looks kinda burnt, flip it over. If you have any onions or garlic, you can always add it now to spice things up. Add the garlic whole, you can strain it later. While it is hot and about at 8 minutes on the second side, dump about a cup of red wine (cab) in the pot. About 2 minutes later, add the beef broth. Reduce to low heat, we don’t want to boil it.
Most importantly, for the next 4 hours, you can drink the rest of the bottle of wine and clean the house so your friends don’t think that you are hillbillies.
I never measure the horseradish sauce, but the ingredients listed will get you on your way. After about 1.5 hours, the meat will be really tight and you will think that you messed up, wait another 2 hours and the meat should start to pull apart. If you can easily pull the meat apart with 2 forks, then it is finished. Even if there is a slight resistance, then keep it in the pot.
Toast the buns, add the meat and horseradish, salt & pepper to taste, serve. Now, you are big time courtesy of WIBIA!

Seeing that knife (my nemesis) in that picture just about made me wet my pants. My fingers can barely type this message as they think of all the blood that has lost at the hands of that knife. Ugh.
Anyway, I have had these pot roast sliders and I can attest that they are a solid party treat. I would encourage anyone and everyone to give them a shot.
“Most importantly, for the next 4 hours, you can drink the rest of the bottle of wine and clean the house so your friends don’t think that you are hillbillies.” – Haha.
Awesome recipe and party tip! Those look awesome.
I second that Bear…they do look awesome. What kind of buns are you using?
They are actually dinner rolls from Costco so you should be able to get them out your way. Some dinner rolls are sweet, these are not and they work perfectly. I think they are about $4.00 and you get 40+, it’s a great deal. I toasted them on the grill since I had it on…
Sweet thanks for the info. This is a great idea that I’m looking forward to trying.
Ha! You and that knife don’t get along.
Those look awesome. I’m definitely going to try these in a slow cooker this week. I bet they would taste good with Parker House rolls as well.
Thanks for sharing this.
Wow, just noticed the Shun knife. Impressive. My girlfriend bought me the Shun chef’s knife for Christmas this past year. How do you like it?
That one is the Ken Onion 8 in chef’s. I like it a lot. I also have the Shun bread knife and Shun Utility (sandwich maker). they are all great and I am not sure if there is a sharper knife out of the box. I have some other Henkels, Wustoff and I only plan on getting Shun in the future. I like a medium weight chef’s knife and I grip the balde, so the Ken Onion series gives me a lot of control, but they are $$$. I have had it for two years, I need to send it in…
Yeah, they are pricey but it’s worth every penny to have a good Chef’s knife. I was using cheap knives before and always went into Williams & Sonoma to stare at the knives so finally my girlfriend had enough and bought me one. From what I’ve read, the lifetime warranty covers sharpenings so I’m not even going to try and attempt sharpening it at home.
