Tender beef and onions, and with melted provolone cheese (bell peppers are optional) all come together in the slow cooker. With all the flavors of our favorite Cheesesteak sandwich everyone raves about this recipe!
What is a Philly Cheesesteak?
We’ve all seen a version of this recipe, with Whiz, with peppers (or without). According to Philadelphia’s official tourism site, the Philly cheesesteak was invented in 1930. The combination of thinly sliced steak, melted cheese, and onions in a hoagie roll is just too irresistible.
Bell Peppers?
Not traditional but still delicious! A cheesesteak is sometimes served with bell peppers and often served without. We love the flavor so we add them in. Not a fan? Leave them out!
Ingredients & Variations
BEEF The best beef for the crock pot is a cut that becomes perfectly tender when slow slow-cooked in the crockpot. A beef roast or a chuck or pot roast is just right (and the same cut I use in French dip sandwiches). It makes savory and extra tender slices of meat for Philly cheesesteaks with minimal effort. CHEESE Traditionally, a Philly cheesesteak is topped with provolone, Cheez Whiz, or American cheese but nowadays you can use almost any cheese you wish! Try melting on mozzarella, cheddar, or havarti for a change. BUNS Hoagie or sub buns are the best options for this sandwich! They are hearty and hold up well under the weight of this hearty sandwich. Don’t have time to grab those buns? You could serve mini cheesesteak sliders on dinner rolls or even make a sandwich with a classic loaf of bread in a pinch.
