These Philly cheesesteak sliders with ground beef are a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing twist on the classic sandwich, featuring savory beef, caramelized onions, peppers, and gooey provolone cheese on soft slider buns. Perfect for game day, parties, or a fun family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (85% lean preferred)
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 slider buns (soft dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls)
  • 6–8 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for sautéing)
  • Optional: hot sauce, sliced jalapeños, pickled peppers, mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the entire pack of slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact. Place the bottom half in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 5–7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Sprinkle in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Evenly spoon the beef mixture over the bottom half of the buns. Layer provolone slices over the beef, overlapping for full coverage.
  6. Place the top half of the buns over the filling. In a small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the buns.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake another 5–7 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  8. Let the sliders cool for 5 minutes, then cut along the bun lines. Serve hot.

Notes

For best results, don’t rush caramelizing the onions and peppers. Keep the buns together for easy assembly and neat serving. Provolone is classic, but mozzarella or American cheese can be used. To make ahead, prep the beef mixture and slice the buns, then assemble and bake just before serving. Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave.
