Philly Cheesesteak Sliders Recipe
Introduction
Philly Cheesesteak Sliders are a delicious twist on the classic sandwich, perfect for parties or a cozy night in. These bite-sized treats are packed with savory beef, melted provolone, and a creamy cheese blend, all served on soft slider rolls.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 green bell pepper (diced)
- 1 sweet yellow onion (diced)
- 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ 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 the ground beef, diced onion, and diced bell pepper. Cook for 8–10 minutes, breaking apart the meat with a spatula until it’s fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Step 3: Stir in garlic powder, salt, 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 bottom rolls, then layer the provolone cheese slices on top. Cover with the top halves of the rolls.
- Step 5: Combine melted butter and garlic salt in a small bowl. Cut between each slider to separate 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.
Tips & Variations
- For added flavor, try sautéing the peppers and onions separately before mixing with the beef.
- Substitute provolone with mozzarella or cheddar for a different cheese profile.
- Top sliders with sliced jalapeños or pickled peppers for a spicy kick.
- Adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture enhances the savory taste.
Storage
Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through. For best texture, reheat in the oven to keep the rolls slightly crisp.

FAQs
Can I make these sliders ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the sliders a few hours before baking. Keep them covered in the refrigerator and bake just before serving.
Can I use ground steak instead of ground beef?
Absolutely! Ground steak or ribeye can make these sliders even closer to the classic Philly cheesesteak flavor. Just adjust cooking time if needed.
