Philly Cheesesteak Sliders Recipe
Introduction
Philly Cheesesteak Sliders are a fun and tasty twist on the classic sandwich, perfect for parties or family dinners. These mini sandwiches are packed with flavorful beef, sautéed peppers and onions, creamy cheese, and melted provolone on soft slider rolls.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 sweet yellow onion, diced
- 1.5 teaspoon 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
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, diced onion, and diced bell pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, for 8-10 minutes until the beef is fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
- Step 3: Stir in garlic powder, salt, ground pepper, and onion powder. Mix in the softened cream cheese until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
- Step 4: Slice the slider rolls horizontally and place the bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the buns. Layer the provolone cheese slices on top, then cover with the top halves of the rolls.
- Step 5: Combine melted butter and garlic salt. Cut through the sandwiches between each roll to separate them slightly, then brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the sliders are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms along with the peppers and onions.
- Use hoagie rolls instead of slider buns for larger sandwiches.
- Swap provolone for mozzarella or American cheese to change up the taste.
- Brush the tops with a bit of dried oregano or Italian seasoning mixed into the butter for an herby note.
Storage
Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to keep the bread from getting soggy and to melt the cheese again. They can also be frozen before baking; thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then bake as directed.

Can I use a different type of meat?
Yes, you can substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based meat alternatives for a different flavor or to suit dietary preferences.
How do I prevent the slider buns from getting soggy?
Make sure to drain the cooked beef mixture thoroughly before spreading it on the buns. Also, brushing the tops with melted butter helps create a barrier that keeps the buns moist but not soggy.
