Philly Cheese Steak Casserole is a rich and tasty meal inspired by the renowned Philly cheesesteak sandwich. It mixes thinly sliced steak, sautéed onions and peppers, and melted cheese in a casserole dish. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for Philly Cheese Steak Casserole:
- 1.5 pounds thinly sliced beef steak (such as ribeye or sirloin) – 2 tablespoons vegetable oil – 1 large onion, thinly sliced – 2 bell peppers (green, red, or a mix), thinly sliced – 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper – 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces shredded or sliced provolone or Cheez Whiz
- 4 hoagie or sub rolls cut into cubes
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Cooking spray or butter should be used to grease a casserole dish.

- Return the cooked steak to the pan with the veggies and stir well to mix.
- Evenly distribute the steak and vegetable combination in the prepared casserole dish.
- Top the steak and vegetables with the shredded or sliced provolone cheese.
