Steak and Cheese Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls
Philadelphia is one of my favorite places to visit with my family – especially for the food! If you've been to Philly, you know all about the debate about Pat's or Geno's. I am here to tell you, you can make an authentic Philly cheesesteak recipe at home that is just as delicious as a cheesesteak straight out of Philly!
Complete with shaved ribeye steak, bell peppers, onions, the perfect blend of seasoning, and creamy RAGÚ® Double Cheddar Cheese Sauce, this is the best Philadelphia cheesesteak sliders recipe out there. Every bite is packed with flavor and simply irresistible.
The best part about making these homemade steak sliders? You can bake them right in the original packaging the rolls come in for minimal cleanup, and it takes 30 minutes or less to make from start to finish.
Mixing RAGÚ® Double Cheddar Cheese Sauce right into the steak and veggies makes it even easier to prepare, and super delicious, too!
FAQs
Typically, traditional Philly cheesesteaks use American, provolone, or spray cheese. However, I prefer RAGÚ® Double Cheddar Cheese Sauce for its creamy texture and deep cheddar flavor. It is an easy and convenient sauce for enhancing any dish, and is a classic, go-to family favorite. My family loves how this creamy cheese sauce brings together the taste and texture of my Philly cheesesteak sliders recipe, and it’s easy to purchase using the new Walmart app!

Shaved steak makes the best meat for Philly Cheesesteak. In the case of my Philly cheesesteak sliders recipe, use shaved ribeye for best results. If preferred, you can also use sirloin for sirloin steak sliders. You can also use leftover steak!
Serve Philly cheesesteak sliders with a side of potato chips, baked crispy potato wedges, or air fryer french fries. My air fryer mushrooms would also make an incredible side dish for Philly cheesesteak sliders!

I love this cheese sauce more than just for my Philly cheesesteak sliders recipe. It's delicious in homemade mac and cheese, over roasted veggies, with potatoes, on nachos, and so much more.
