PHILLY CHEESESTEAK POT PIE
Philly Cheesesteak is a favorite, flavorful sandwich with ribeye beef served on a crusty roll. If you’ve ever been to Philly you’ve probably tried and loved this regional favorite. We have fun taking the flavors of Philadelphia Cheesesteak and making them into easy family-friendly meals. You can find Philly Cheesesteak Beef Stew, Philly Grilled Cheese, Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes, and more on the website. Now, we’ve baked the iconic Cheesesteak flavors into a flaky pastry crust for a pot pie recipe. Baking it in a pie crust adds some extra buttery flavor and makes it the perfect comforting dinner for a cold night.
One of the main disagreements surrounding Philly Cheesesteaks is what kind of cheese to use for the cheesesteak sauce. In this recipe we’ve used Velveeta for the cheese sauce. However, some people don’t consider it a true Philly Cheesesteak without Cheez Whiz. So, you can definitely use that instead!

- Meat and veggies: Add the beef to a large skillet and sear it on all sides for about 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Remove the meat mixture from the pan. Add a bit of oil to the large skillet. You can use butter, vegetable oil, olive oil, or coconut oil. Add in the green bell pepper, onions, and mushrooms. Stir with a wooden spoon and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes until the onions are translucent. Add in the flour and whisk the ingredients for about a minute.
- Liquid ingredients: Season the with salt and pepper. Then add the milk, broth and cheese sauce. Continue simmering the mixture until it’s thickened. Then mix the meat back in.
- Bake: Pour the filling mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place the second pie crust on top and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top of the crust and brush an egg wash over the top. To make the egg wash, combine an egg with 2 tablespoons water. Place casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to golden-brown, bubbly perfection.

VARIATIONS ON PHILLY CHEESESTEAK POT PIE
- Puff Pastry: If you don’t have a frozen pie crust ready to go, you can always roll out puff pastry to use for the flaky pastry crust in the recipe.
- Seasonings: For some extra homey flavor in your delicious comfort food dish, try dried spices like Italian seasoning, cloves, parsley, or paprika.
- Vegetables: For some extra veggie add-ins, stir some green peas or green beans into the pot pie mixture. You can also choose what kind of mushroom you’d like in the recipe. Cremini mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms are probably the best options.
- Cheese: You can use American cheese, Swiss cheese, or provolone along with or in place of the cheese sauce, or add a crumble topping with parmesan.
- Pasta: If you want the Philly Cheesesteak flavor in an easy dinner, but don’t want to make a pot pie, make it an easy casserole with any short cut pasta. Cook the pasta until tender then add it to the meat mixture in the pan. Pour the pasta mixture into the baking dish and cook until bubbly.
- Broth: Instead of beef broth you could use chicken broth or vegetable broth. To make it healthier you can also use low sodium chicken, beef, or vegetable broth.
- Mini: Try making Mini Cheesesteak Pot Pies in ramekins. Use a small cookie cutter to cut the pie crust into small circles that fit the ramekins. Place them on a baking sheet to bake them into individual servings.
