For the Sliders

• 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls (kept connected)
• 8–10 slices provolone cheese (or mozzarella)

Garlic Butter Topping

• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 tbsp fresh parsley)
• ¼ tsp onion powder
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add onions and bell peppers and cook for 5–6 minutes until softened.
• Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the beef, breaking it apart while cooking.
• Season with Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Cook until the beef is browned and no liquid remains.

2. Prepare the Rolls

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Slice the entire slab of Hawaiian rolls horizontally without separating them.
• Place the bottom half in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. Assemble

• Layer half of the provolone cheese over the bottom rolls.
• Spread the cheesesteak mixture evenly.
• Top with the remaining provolone slices.
• Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.

4. Add Garlic Butter

• Mix melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and Parmesan (if using).
• Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.

5. Bake

• Cover loosely with foil.
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake another 5–8 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Serve

• Let cool for 5 minutes.
• Slice into individual sliders.
• Serve with fries, potato wedges, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.

Tips

• Freeze the steak for 20 minutes before slicing to get ultra-thin pieces.
• Mushrooms make a delicious addition to the filling.
• For extra flavor, add a few slices of pepper jack cheese.
• Brush the rolls with garlic butter immediately before baking for a glossy, flavorful crust.

Storage

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8–10 minutes or in the microwave for about 1 minute.
