Notes

For a more traditional Philly Cheesesteak flavor, substitute the provolone cheese with Cheez Whiz. Serve with toasted hoagie rolls for dipping. You can add a dollop of sour cream or a swirl of hot sauce for extra flavor. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
