Philly Cheesesteak Sliders Recipe
Introduction
Philly Cheesesteak Sliders are a fun and flavorful twist on the classic sandwich. Perfect for parties or family dinners, these mini sliders combine tender ground beef, peppers, onions, and melty provolone cheese on soft slider rolls. They’re easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.

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
- 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, breaking the meat apart with a spatula, for 8-10 minutes or until the beef is fully cooked. Drain any excess liquid.
- Step 3: Stir in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Then add the softened cream cheese and mix until well combined.
- 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 cheese slices on top, then cover with the top halves of the rolls.
- Step 5: Combine the melted butter and garlic salt. Cut between each slider all the way through to separate them slightly, then brush the butter mixture generously over the top of the rolls.
- Step 6: Bake for 20-30 minutes until the cheese melts and the sliders are heated through. Serve warm.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, try adding sautéed mushrooms or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
- Swap provolone for mozzarella or cheddar cheese for a different twist.
- Brush the tops with a little more melted butter halfway through baking for a richer crust.
Storage
Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through to keep them soft and melty.

FAQs
Can I make Philly Cheesesteak Sliders ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the sliders and refrigerate them unbaked for a few hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Can I use steak instead of ground beef?
Absolutely. Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin works well to replicate the traditional Philly cheesesteak texture. Cook the steak quickly in a hot skillet with the veggies before assembling.
