Recipe Notes

Tips for Philly Cheesesteak Recipe

  1. Only use dry spices and not any marinades or wet spices as these will burn.
  2. Use lots of mayo and cheese - the sliders are much more enjoyable and decadent when you fully load them.
  3. I brush the slider tops with melted butter, seasoning and herbs just for flavor and it’s completely optional but SO good!
  4. Make sure your sliders are covered when grilling at the end to stop any burning.
