S’mores Sliders

S’mores sliders are now my favorite way to eat this campfire treat and the ultimate Hawaiian roll dessert! Take the classic s’mores recipe and put a creative spin on it by following the simple recipe below.

Ingredients for S’mores Dessert Sliders

Ingredients for s’mores laid out on display.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this smores recipe:

  • Hawaiian rolls – the classic roll that helps turn your s’mores into sweet little sandwiches
  • Peanut butter cups* – use these instead of chocolate bars to make the best s’mores recipe; provides an added savory, salty taste
  • Marshmallows – another key element to make the ultimate s’mores; provides that ooey gooey goodness
  • Graham crackers – what is a s’more without graham crackers? Crush some up and sprinkle on top of Hawaiian rolls
  • Butter – use melted butter to brush on top of Hawaiian rolls to help crushed graham crackers stick; also provides a slightly warm, savory balance to the sweetness of these sliders

*Note that you can easily swap out the peanut butter cups for chocolate bars as you prefer

Assembling S’mores Sliders

S’mores recipe with peanut butter cups.

Putting together these s’mores sliders is very simple. Begin by cutting a 12-pack of King’s Hawaiian rolls in half. Take the bottom portion and place down in a greased 9×11 foil pan. With that done, take the peanut butter cups out of their wrappers and place down. You will need 12 of them, one for each roll.

Next, take 12 regular sized marshmallows and slice them in half, making 24 pieces. Place two pieces face down on each peanut butter cup. Cutting marshmallows in half makes the tops of the Hawaiian rolls stay on easier and not slide off to the side during cooking.

Speaking of the tops of the Hawaiian rolls, place them on top of the marshmallows and brush rolls with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle tops with finely crushed graham crackers, using one full graham cracker sheet for crushing.

Peanut Butter Cups on S’mores?

Have you ever had s’mores with peanut butter cups instead of plain chocolate? This is the ultimate game changer to the classic s’mores recipe because it adds that extra layer of creamy, salty flavor!

While I prefer to use peanut butter cups in s’mores, this recipe can easily be adjusted to use the traditional chocolate bars. If peanut allergies are a concern, then substitute for chocolate bars in this recipe.

Cooking Time and Temp for this S’mores Recipe

Preheat your grill to 350 degrees over indirect heat. Using either a fruit wood (cherry, apple) or hard wood (oak, hickory) will be just fine for adding a little smoke flavor.

Once grill is up to temp, place the foil pan with s’mores sliders on the grill for 15 minutes. You can tell they will be done because both the chocolate and marshmallow will be nice and melty. Also, the tops of the sweet Hawaiian rolls will be perfectly toasted. Remove from grill and pan, cut into individual sliders, and serve smoked sliders immediately.

Can I Make these S’mores in the Oven?

Yes, this s’mores recipe can absolutely be made in the oven! You will still get the toasted slider crunch that completes these s’mores sliders whether they are cooked on the grill or in the oven.

Cheesesteak Sliders Ingredients

The ingredient list for this cheesesteak slider recipe is pretty simple:

  • Shaved Ribeye steak – ribeye is tender and flavorful. Slice into very thin pieces at home or have it shaved by the butcher. Some places will have shaved ribeye pre-packaged.
  • Onion – white onion cooked up on the griddle is fundamental to any cheesesteak
  • Provolone cheese – classic Philly cheesesteak sandwiches are topped with this melty cheese
  • Green bell pepper – adds some crunch with subtle flavors of bitterness and sweet
  • Mushrooms – sliced white mushrooms add extra umami flavor
  • Seasoning – with steak involved, a salt, pepper, garlic powder-based seasoning is ideal

Why Not Call These Philly Cheesesteak Sliders?

Cheesesteak sliders ready for eating.

A classic Philly cheesesteak consists of shaved beef steak, sliced onion, and Provolone cheese all cooked up on a griddle and served on a hoagie roll. People from the Philadelphia area are very passionate about their Philly cheesesteaks and will be quick to tell you that peppers and mushrooms don’t belong. However, some Philadelphians will swap out Provolone for Cheez Whiz.

This recipe is more of a cheesesteak that most of us outside of the Philadelphia region are used to. Out of respect to the Philly cheesesteak, this slider post is referred to as a cheesesteak sliders recipe.

Prepping the Vegetables

Onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms seasoned and cooking on the griddle.

Slice the green bell peppers and 3/4 onion julienne. To slice “julienne” means long, thin slices. This is ideal for cheesesteak as it cooks faster and the size is perfect. I prefer to have more onion than green bell pepper slices. You can find sliced white mushrooms at most grocery stores or supermarkets, but feel free to cut them into even smaller pieces if you wish.

Combine the vegetables into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Tips for Slicing Ribeye Steak for Cheesesteaks

Thinly sliced ribeye for cheesesteaks.

Slicing ribeye steaks for cheesesteaks is easy if you have a sharp knife and a cold steak. The reason I say a “cold steak” is because it’s more firm and easier to slice than one with a mushy texture. Pro tip, place the steak in the freezer for 10 minutes prior to slicing to ensure a more firm steak to slice.

A sharp blade will also make thin slices more attainable. The sharper the blade, the easier it will be to slice thin shavings of steak. I recommend sharpening or honing your knife prior to doing this.

If you aren’t up for slicing this yourself, some butchers will slice the steak in their meat slicer upon request. Also, some supermarkets will sell beef shaved steak pre-packaged so you can skip the slicing altogether.

Cooking Cheesesteaks on the Griddle

Shaved beef steak for beefsteaks cooking on the griddle.

With the Blackstone griddle at medium heat, start cooking the onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms first. The vegetables will take longer to cook than the steak. Spread the vegetables into a single layer on the griddle for more even cooking. Cook for five to seven minutes, flipping halfway through.

On a separate part of the griddle, add the shaved steak and season with salt and pepper. Cook the steak pieces for just over one minute on each side. Combine the meat and veggies together in a square-like shape to fit the size of tray of Hawaiian roll slider buns.

Speaking of, take your pack of slider buns and place the inside portions on the griddle for 30 to 60 seconds to toast them. This will provide a nice touch of extra flavor to the Hawaiian roll cheesesteak sliders.

The Best Cheese for Cheesesteaks

Hawaiian roll cheesesteak sliders cooking on the Blackstone griddle.

Which cheese is best for cheesesteaks? Provolone cheese is the most popular and the one I prefer. Cheez Whiz or Velveeta is another popular option. I’ve also seen people use cream cheese and mix it in with the meat and veggies.

Each of these will bring a different flavor to the cheesesteaks, but don’t feel confined to being limited to these three options. You can even try American, Swiss, or Havarti. Ultimately, the best cheese for cheesesteak is up to personal preference.

Serving the Hawaiian Roll Cheesesteak Sliders

Hawaiian roll sliders assembled in the tray.

With the cheese melted on top of the meat and veggies, as well as the slider buns toasted, scoop up the meat and veggies (and cheese) from underneath with your griddle spatula and scoop nicely onto the bottom buns. Using two spatulas to pick it up all at once is preferable.

Place the upper portion of the buns on top and serve! You can either cut the sliders individually to cut the meat and veggies into perfectly sized sliders or simply pull the sliders apart from each other.

What to Serve with Cheesesteak Sliders

Fries go perfectly with cheesesteak sliders. Chips and dip work great, too! If you are having a party and need to feed more people, there are other slider recipes you can try. Here’s a list of recipes that I highly recommend:

Easy Mexican Street Corn Dip

Easy Mexican Street Corn Dip

This easy Mexican street corn dip, also known as elotes dip or esquites (Mexican street corn salad), takes the popular Mexican corn treat and turns it into one of the best tasting dips you’ll ever try! Grill the corn to your liking and incorporate with the rest of the ingredients. Your tortilla chips will thank you!

Ingredients Needed for Elotes Dip

Visual image of all ingredients needed for Mexican street corn dip

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this Mexican street corn dip:

  • Corn – the key ingredient, the basis for elotes. This recipe calls for corn on the cob on the grill. If corn on the cob is out of season, then use frozen corn and cook in a skillet with a little butter.
  • Mayonnaise – usually the base layer put on the Mexican street corn. Is the base for this creamy dip.
  • Sour cream – provides a nice touch of sour to the creamy base.
  • Chili lime seasoning – adds a very mild touch of spice, combined with a citrus flavor to provide a perfect balance
  • Cotija cheese – a crumbly Mexican cheese used to top elotes. Can substitute with Parmesan cheese.
  • Lime juice – adds more citrus flavor.
  • Cilantro – for a fresh, earthy herb flavor.
  • Jalapeno (optional) – to add a little heat, as well as some more crunch

Most of these ingredients may already be in your pantry and refrigerator, which makes this an affordable homemade dip to make.

Making the Grilled Corn

Corn on the cob with a little char from the grill.

Start by getting your grill preheated to medium heat. This can be done with either a charcoal grill or gas grill. Just make sure it is a direct heat source. Next, shuck the ears of corn by pulling back the husks and taking them off. Also make sure to remove the silk (those thin, light colored strands).

Place corn on the cob directly on the grill and cook for five minutes. The main thing we are looking to do is to get a nice char on the kernels. Once this is attained, rotate the corn halfway to grill the opposite side. Cook until kernels on corn are tender. Remove from grill.

As an alternative, you can smoke the corn on the grill at 250 degrees over indirect heat with hickory wood for 45 minutes. This will give you smoked street corn dip!

Making the Mexican Street Corn Dip

Mixing all of the elotes dip ingredients together.

Start with 1/4 cup mayo and 2 tablespoons of sour cream in a medium-sized bowl. Next, add 2 teaspoons lime juice, 1/2 cup grated Cotija cheese, and a teaspoon of chili lime seasoning. With the corn on the cob finished, scrape off kernels directly into bowl. Mix ingredients together and top with a little more chili lime seasoning, Cotija cheese, and cilantro. Serve in a cup for esquites or as an easy elotes dip.

What to Serve with Mexican Street Corn Dip

Tortilla chips are perfect for this easy homemade dip!

Tortilla chips are the perfect pairing for this elotes dip. However, crackers and pretzels work very well for this, too. Spread elotes dip in your tacos to take them to the next level!

How Long is Elotes Dip Good For?

When stored properly in an airtight container and placed in the fridge, elotes dip is good for up to three days.
