Here’s a delicious Cheesy Philly Cheesesteak Bread recipe—a perfect fusion of classic Philly flavors with soft, pull-apart bread.
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
For the bread base:
- 1 loaf of French bread or Italian bread, about 12 inches
- 1 tbsp butter, softened
For the filling:
- 250–300g (½ lb) thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin works best)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1–2 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
For the cheese:
- 1 cup shredded provolone, mozzarella, or a mix
- Optional: ¼ cup cream cheese for extra creaminess
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the bread:
- Slice the loaf lengthwise, but not all the way through (keep it hinged).
- Hollow out some of the soft inner bread to make room for filling.
- Spread butter on the inside of the loaf.
- Cook the filling:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté onion and bell pepper until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add beef, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook until browned. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the bread:
- Spoon the beef and veggie mixture into the hollowed-out bread.
- Sprinkle or layer the cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake:
- Place the filled bread on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Slice into portions and enjoy warm.
✅ Tips:
- For extra flavor, drizzle a little steak sauce or sautéed mushrooms over the filling.
- You can also make mini cheesesteak sliders by using small rolls instead of a full loaf.
If you want, I can give a one-pan version where you cook everything together and bake in a pan for less cleanup and faster prep.
