Super Bowl Sliders Showdown
It’s game time, foodies! The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are going head-to-head in Super Bowl LIX, and while the players battle it out on the field, there’s another epic showdown happening in your kitchen…The Slider Bowl!
Sliders are the MVPs of any game-day spread. They’re small, packed with flavor and easy to grab between touchdown celebrations and commercial breaks. But in honor of this year’s matchup, we’re taking it up a notch and creating sliders inspired by both teams! Whether you’re Team Chiefs, Team Eagles or just here for the food (and commercials), these sandwiches are a guaranteed win!
The Kansas City BBQ Brisket Slider
A nod to KC’s legendary barbecue, these sliders feature tender smoked brisket, a tangy-sweet BBQ sauce, and a crisp slaw for the perfect crunch. It’s bold, it’s messy, and it’s a flavor-packed touchdown!
What You’ll Need:
1 lb. smoked brisket (or slow-cooked beef)
Slider buns (brioche or potato rolls work great!)
½ cup Kansas City-style BBQ sauce
1 cup coleslaw mix
Pickles (optional, but highly recommended!)
2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing buns)
Shred or slice your brisket and toss it with BBQ sauce. Toast your slider buns and pile on the brisket. Top with slaw and pickles for that classic KC crunch! Brush the tops with butter, bake for 5 minutes, and serve hot!
Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
You can’t talk about Philly without a cheesesteak, and these mini versions bring all that cheesy, meaty goodness into a handheld powerhouse!
What You’ll Need:
1 lb. thinly sliced ribeye or flank steak
6 slices provolone cheese
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
Slider rolls (soft and fluffy!)
2 tbsp butter (for sautéing)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt & pepper to taste
Sauté onions and peppers in butter until soft. Set aside.
Cook the sliced ribeye on high heat until browned. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Layer steak, onions, and peppers onto toasted slider buns. Top with provolone cheese and broil for 2 minutes until melted. Serve warm and watch them disappear faster than a Hail Mary pass!
