Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sauté the peppers and onions separately with a splash of Worcestershire sauce before adding to the beef.
• Swap out provolone for American or mozzarella cheese if you prefer a different melt and taste.
• Try adding thinly sliced mushrooms or jalapeños to the peppers and onions for additional texture and spice.
• Use whole wheat or gluten-free slider buns to accommodate dietary preferences.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes or microwave individually until heated through. These sliders are best enjoyed fresh but reheat well.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Main Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 2 cups frozen peppers and onions
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• 12 slices provolone cheese
• 12 count slider buns (Hawaiian rolls recommended)

Topping Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• Parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the sliders.
2. Cook Meat and Veggies: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef along with the frozen peppers and onions. Cook this mixture until the beef is fully browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
3. Drain Excess Liquid: Once the meat and vegetables are cooked, drain off any excess grease or liquid from the skillet to keep the sliders from becoming soggy.
4. Add Cheese: Add 6 slices of provolone cheese to the meat mixture in the skillet. Stir continuously until all the cheese has melted and is evenly incorporated with the meat and veggies.
5. Prepare Slider Buns: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, and place the bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating an even layer.
6. Assemble Sliders: Spread the cheesy meat and veggie mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the buns. Then, layer the remaining 6 slices of provolone cheese over the meat mixture.
7. Add Top Buns: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the cheese layer to complete the assembly.
8. Prepare Butter Topping: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Use a brush to evenly coat the tops of the slider buns with the melted butter, then sprinkle the sesame seeds on top for added flavor and texture.
9. Bake: Bake the assembled sliders in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are just golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm for a delicious and satisfying meal or appetizer.

Notes

• Using lean ground beef helps reduce excess grease for a less oily slider.
• Frozen peppers and onions can be substituted with fresh if preferred; sauté before adding to the beef.
• Hawaiian rolls add a subtle sweetness that complements the savory filling, but any slider buns can be used.
• Brush the butter generously for a crispy, golden top but avoid soaking the buns to prevent sogginess.
• These sliders can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
