Ingredients

Rolls and Cheese

  • 12 ounces Hawaiian rolls (1 pack of 12 rolls)
  • 12 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for melting)

Vegetable Layer

  • 1/2 medium sweet onion, diced
  • 1/2 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for sautéing vegetables)

Meat Layer

  • 8 ounces roast beef lunch meat (7-8 ounces works, roughly diced into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking roast beef)

Instructions

  1. Prepping The Buns And Cheese: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking oil. Slice the Hawaiian roll horizontally into large top and bottom halves. Place the bottom halves on the sheet pan and lay about 6 slices of provolone cheese evenly over them to prevent soggy buns later on. Set the remaining cheese slices aside for later use.
  2. Making The Pepper Onion Layer: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced onions and cook for about 3 minutes until they just start to soften, stirring frequently. Then add the diced bell pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Continue cooking for 2 more minutes while stirring occasionally to blend the flavors and soften the vegetables.
  3. Assembling Vegetable Layer: Spread the cooked bell pepper and onion mixture evenly over the cheese-layered bottom halves of the Hawaiian rolls on the sheet pan.
  4. Making The Meat Layer: In the same skillet, melt another tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Separate the roast beef pieces as needed and add them to the skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon paprika over the meat and add 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently until heated through and flavors combine.
  5. Assembling Meat Layer: Spread the cooked roast beef mixture evenly over the pepper and onion layer on the Hawaiian roll bottoms.
  6. Baking The Sliders: Cover the roast beef with the remaining provolone cheese slices. Place the top halves of the Hawaiian rolls over the cheese. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish. Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 15 to 16 minutes until the tops are lightly browned and the cheese has fully melted. Remove from the oven, serve hot, and enjoy your Philly Cheesesteak Sliders!

Notes

  • Slicing the Hawaiian rolls horizontally as large pieces helps with easier assembly and even cooking.
  • Adding cheese to the bottom layer helps prevent the bread from getting soggy due to the vegetable mixture.
  • If you prefer a spicier slider, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper with the paprika.
  • Use freshly shredded provolone for better melting if available.
  • These sliders are best served warm immediately after baking but can be reheated in the oven for best results.
  • Adjust the amount of Worcestershire sauce for more tanginess or omit for a milder flavor.
