Oh num! French dip sliders! Those are adorable and look yummy.
I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out what to make for my hubby & his buddy during the super bowl.
Those little guys are PERFECT! :0)
P.S.. I love using the “Better than bullion” product that you mentioned. It’s a little bit on the pricey side, but a jar of it seems to last forever in the fridge. And it REALLY is better than other types of bouillon! š
Ok, I am literally drooling right now. These little sliders look amazing! Well done š
These look and sound great! Would be perfect for a party!
These look wonderful, and I love the fact that you made your own au jus. If I read this right it takes 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons of Better than Bouillon Beef Base. Is that correct? I will be making these soon, and they are going in my Friday Finds for this week. Thanks for sharing;.
Loy- Yes, 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons of the Better than Bouillon Beef Base.
These were awesome! Had them last night and they were another hit. I love your blog!
I made these and they were soooo good! Next time though I am making them regular bun size! LOVE LOVE!
