Philly Cheesesteak Bake
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
Meat & Veggies:
-
1 lb (450 g) thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin works best)
-
1 green bell pepper, sliced
-
1 red bell pepper, sliced
-
1 medium onion, sliced
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Other Ingredients:
-
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup mayonnaise (optional, makes it creamier)
-
1–1½ cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
-
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
-
4–5 sandwich rolls or hoagie rolls (for serving)
Instructions
1. Cook the Meat and Veggies
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add sliced onions and peppers. Sauté 4–5 minutes until softened.
-
Add beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned and cooked through.
-
Optional: stir in Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
2. Make It Cheesy
-
Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese until melted and well combined with the beef and veggies.
-
Add half of the shredded cheese and stir until creamy.
3. Assemble & Bake
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
-
Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top.
-
Bake 10–15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Serve
-
Spoon onto toasted hoagie rolls or sandwich rolls.
-
Optional: top with extra cheese, pickles, or sautéed mushrooms.
Tips
-
For extra flavor, use provolone cheese slices on top instead of shredded cheese.
-
Make ahead: you can cook the beef mixture in advance, then bake with cheese just before serving.
-
Add a pinch of crushed red pepper if you like a little heat.
If you want, I can also give a “one-pan skillet Philly Cheesesteak Bake” where everything—beef, peppers, onions, and cheese—cooks together in the same pan for even easier cleanup.
