If the degree of slope is fairly shallow plunking down some newspaper down and covering that with a good, thick mulch will help. If the slope is steep that may not stay in place.

If you can keep it mowed and it has good light, grass will out compete the weeds in a year or two.

I'm pretty sure there are some cover crops out there with weed suppressing agents but you'd have to ask others out there for what the names are
