Introduction

Philly Cheesesteak Sliders are a fun, flavorful twist on the classic sandwich, perfect for parties or family dinners. These bite-sized sandwiches combine savory ground beef, creamy cheese, and tender veggies on soft sliders, making them irresistible and easy to enjoy.

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: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and diced bell pepper. Cook, breaking apart the meat with a spatula, for 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
3. Step 3: Stir in garlic powder, salt, ground pepper, and onion powder. Mix in the softened cream cheese until well combined with the beef mixture.
4. Step 4: Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a 9×13 baking dish. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the rolls, then layer the provolone cheese slices on top. Cover with the top halves of the rolls.
5. Step 5: Combine the melted butter and garlic salt. Cut between each slider to separate them slightly, then brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, until the sliders are heated through and the cheese is melted.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños to the beef mixture.
• Substitute cream cheese with cheddar cheese for a sharper taste.
• Use hoagie rolls instead of slider rolls for larger sandwiches.
• Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with fresh herbs like parsley or oregano for a fresh twist.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to keep the rolls crispy and the cheese melted. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the rolls soggy.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Beef Mixture

• 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

Sliders

• 24 slider rolls
• 6 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced

Topping

• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders later.
2. Cook the Beef Mixture: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and diced green bell pepper. Cook, breaking the beef apart with a spatula, for 8-10 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked. Make sure to cook until the vegetables are tender and the beef is browned. Drain any excess grease thoroughly.
3. Season and Combine: Stir in the garlic powder, salt, ground pepper, and onion powder into the cooked beef mixture. Then, mix in the softened cream cheese until it is fully incorporated, creating a rich and creamy beef filling.
4. Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider rolls horizontally and place the bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking dish in an even layer. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the bottom rolls. Layer the thinly sliced provolone cheese evenly on top of the beef. Finish by placing the top halves of the slider rolls over the cheese, aligning them to fit properly.
5. Prepare Garlic Butter Topping: Combine the melted butter and garlic salt in a small bowl. Using a brush, cut between each sandwich on the top and brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the top of the slider tops, ensuring good coverage for a flavorful crust.
6. Bake the Sliders: Place the assembled sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the sliders are heated through, and the tops are golden and slightly crispy.

Notes

• You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Feel free to add sliced mushrooms or other peppers to customize the vegetable mix.
• If you want extra gooey cheese, add an additional layer of provolone or mix in mozzarella.
• For an even crispier top, broil the sliders for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
• Make sure to drain the cooked beef mixture well to avoid soggy sliders.
