Philly Cheesesteak Sliders Recipe

Introduction

These Philly Cheesesteak Sliders are a delicious twist on the classic sandwich, perfect for parties or a cozy meal. Packed with savory ground beef, peppers, onions, and gooey provolone, they come together quickly and bake right in the dish for easy serving.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 sweet yellow onion, diced
• 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 24 slider rolls
• 6 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onion and green bell pepper. Break the meat apart with a spatula and cook for 8–10 minutes until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
3. Step 3: Stir in the garlic powder, salt, ground pepper, and onion powder. Mix in the softened cream cheese until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
4. Step 4: Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the bottom rolls. Layer the provolone slices on top, then cover with the top halves of the rolls.
5. Step 5: Combine melted butter and garlic salt in a small bowl. Cut between the slider rolls to mark portions, then brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the sliders.
6. Step 6: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 20–30 minutes, until heated through and the cheese has melted.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sauté the bell peppers and onions separately for a few minutes before adding to the beef mixture.
• Try swapping provolone for mozzarella or American cheese for a different taste and texture.
• Add sliced mushrooms or hot peppers to the beef mixture for a twist on the classic.
• If you want a cheesier slider, add extra cheese between the layers of meat and bread.

Storage

Store leftover sliders covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes or microwave individual sliders until heated through.
