PHILLY CHEESESTEAK DIP
Philly Cheesesteaks are a regional classic that we absolutely love. In fact, we love the flavor of a classic Philly Cheesesteak so much it has inspired a bunch of recipes on the site. You can find Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes and Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Shells for weeknight dinner ideas. However, if you need a flavorful appetizer or side, this Philly Cheese Steak Dip is the way to go!
Philly Cheesesteak Dip is easy to make in a large pan on the stove over medium heat. You just combine the steak, green peppers, and then start adding the sauce and creamy ingredients. It all comes together in about 20 minutes and can be served still melty and warm.
There is always some debate on how to make the perfect cheesesteak mixture, especially when it comes to what cheese to use. Often, Philly Cheesesteaks are made with Cheez Whiz. If that’s an important part of the cheesesteak taste for you, just add some Cheeze Whiz to the top of the dip before serving. Similarly, if you don’t have Velveeta or Cheese Whiz, just use American cheese.
