Ingredients

1 loaf frozen French garlic bread
12 oz. Philly cheesesteak meat
2 cups shredded provolone cheese
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
Olive oil, as needed for sautéing
Garlic powder, to taste
Onion powder, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Bake the frozen French garlic bread according to the package instructions. Keep the oven on after baking to continue cooking the assembled bread later.
Step 2: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the Philly cheesesteak meat until browned. Drain any excess fat, then stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Step 3: In a separate skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper, cooking until tender and fragrant.
Step 4: On the baked garlic bread, layer half of the shredded provolone cheese, followed by the seasoned meat, then the sautéed vegetables. Top with the remaining cheese for extra gooeyness.
Step 5: Return the loaded garlic bread to the oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Remove from the oven, slice into servings, and enjoy your cheesy, flavorful Philly cheesesteak bread.

Tips & Variations

For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the meat before layering.
Try swapping provolone cheese for mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor profile.
If you prefer, use fresh French bread brushed with garlic butter instead of frozen garlic bread.
To make it more filling, add mushrooms or sliced tomatoes along with the bell peppers and onions.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or conventional oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and the cheese is melty again. Avoid microwaving to keep the bread from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

On top of the beef is a layer of melted white cheese that covers the length of the sandwich and appears gooey with some small brown spots from toasting. The sandwiches are sprinkled with small bits of fresh green herbs, adding pops of color and freshness to the dish. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
