Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

Seems like we are running too fast these days

to do much blogging.

I am sure many of you have heard of 

Mormon Mommy Blogs, 

well,

this Mormon Granny Blogger has 

had a lot happening!

Those who follow me on Instagram know that

my daughter had her baby two weeks early, 

but then suffered from post-partum pre-eclampsia.

We hadn't known anything about this, except 

from watching Downton Abbey, when Cybil 

died of eclampsia during child birth.  

We were scheduled to leave on an African Safari 

a week after her due date, so now I had three 

weeks to help her try and get stable.  This was 

her first baby, and pre-eclampsia is common with 

first babies, but they need to get the baby out. 

She wasn't progressing, so the baby ended coming 

C-section.  That was easy compared to the struggle 

with post-partum  pre-eclampsia.  The day after she 

got home she started being nauseated, and unable 

to eat or keep food or medicines down.  Her blood 

pressure was sky-rocketing to stroke levels 

multiple times a day.  She lost 35 pounds in 12 days, 

and they really didn't know what to do to help her. 

She ended up on 2 blood pressure medicines, 2 anti-

nausea medicines and 2 stomach medicines.  

We finally went to another doctor, as we didn't feel 

like she was being taken seriously by her OB/GYN.  

He ordered a CT scan and said if she got worse 

to take her into the ER.  Well, she got worse that 

night, throwing up volumes when she had only 

had a sip.  They kept her for 24 hours, got her on 

IV solution with her meds in the solution, and then 

sent her home on clear liquids.  I had been staying 

with her and her husband this entire 2 1/2 weeks and 

we had pretty much decided we weren't going to be 

going on Safari.  She got home from the ER Thursday 

night and we were to leave Monday morning.  She 

wasn't nauseated and didn't throw up that whole day, 

now that she could get some of the meds through her 

system.  She even wanted to leave the house Friday night. 

Many prayers were answered, and we felt confident 

going by Monday afternoon.  Baby and parents did 

great while we were gone.  

She came over the other day and we decided to make 

some sliders for my other daughter, who is expecting 

and is just curled into a ball, she is so nauseated.  She 

has tried two anti-nausea medicines that can be used 

during pregnancy, so she is really struggling.  We all love 

sliders for entertaining and have used this recipe for 

Ham and Swiss Sliders over and over.

We decided to try some different sliders, as the 

husband of the daughter who was helping me 

had mentioned he was wanting to try a new

variety (as daughter #2 makes the Ham and Swiss

all of the time!)

I had already purchased the ham and swiss, but 

we started looking for things we had in 

the fridge and freezer.

I usually have some of this 

Philly Cheesesteak Meat in the freezer, from Wal Mart.

I just used my recipe for Philly Cheesesteaks and topped 

them with a touch of garlic butter.  We made 24 sliders 

and were able to bring some to the family of my 

pregnant daughter, send some home with my daughter 

with the one month old, and have enough for hubby and me. 

They really are easy and great for a crowd.

Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

12 King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

(or any small roll, but there is something about King's!)

1 14 oz pkg Philly Steak Meat

Montreal Steak Seasoning or salt and pepper

8 oz cream cheese

6-8 slices Provolone Cheese

(sliced mushrooms, onions and green peppers if desired - 

I was making them for families with little children,

so we left those ingredients out.)

1/3 C. melted butter

1/4 tsp. granulated garlic

1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning

In large frying pan brown the meat and 

season.  I like to season this with Montreal 

Steak Seasoning.  If you are doing the mushrooms,

onions and green peppers, saute them in another pan.

Cube the cream cheese and mix into meat, heating 

through until the cream cheese is blended in.  

Add the veggies if using them.  

Slice the entire package of King's Sweet Rolls 

horizontally and lift the tops off in one piece.

Spoon the meat mix on the bottoms of the 

Sweet Rolls.  Layer the cheese on, overlapping 

where necessary.  Lay the tops of the rolls on.

Mix the melted butter with the garlic and 

Italian seasoning, then brush on the rolls.

Cover with foil and place in a 375 degree oven.  

Bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

They are best served straight out of the oven, but they do 

heat up well.  Even the little four year old loved them 

for dinner that night.  We all got excited to try Pizza Sliders, 

Buffalo Chicken Sliders, and more.  These are great for 

family meals, but we have used sliders for parties too, 

like my daughter's baby shower.

I am saving my Safari post for our Tales With 

the Traveling Totes, which comes out on December 1st, 

but you can see some of the 

fun on my Instagram!
