HOW TO MAKE PHILLY CHEESESTEAK DIP

Add ground beef and cook until ground beef is no longer pink and you have a good crust on it. Drain the grease and then return the ground beef to your skillet.
Add in diced green pepper and onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until the peppers are tender.
In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, mayo, seasonings, Parmesan cheese using a hand mixer, combine until smooth.
Add the meat, onions and green pepper mixture and and 2/3 of the American cheese and stir to combine.
Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray and spoon your cheesesteak mixture into the dish and sprinkle with remaining American Cheese (and extra green peppers for garnish if you like)
Bake 20-25 minutes or until top is golden brown. Remove from oven and serve hot with chips.
TIPS FOR THE BEST PHILLY CHEESESTEAK DIP
- It’s important to get your skillet HOT before adding your ground beef. You want to give it a good crust for that extra flavor.
- Not an American cheese fan? Try substituting the American cheese with provolone, monterey jack or white cheddar instead.
- Hand shredded cheese is best but my grocery store only had slices to choose from. It all melts so don’t over think it 🙂
- This dip can be prepared in advance and then stored in the fridge until you’re ready to bake it.
- You can add other ingredients to this cheesesteak dip, more great options are sauteed mushrooms, bacon bits or even fried onion crisps on top.
- Serve this with bagel chips, pita chips, tortilla chips, pretzels or corn chips.

Seriously my favorite dip for game day!! Great cheesesteak flavor with none of the hassle
So glad You enjoyed it Tony. Thanks for the feedback.
Super easy and so delicious! A hit everytime!!
Is there anything else to use besides Mayo? My husband hates mayo
Honestly there is no substitute for the mayo. Trust me it is used just as a binder and you can not taste it.
Can you tell me what shredded American cheese you use? Do you just buy a 1lb chunk from the deli and shred it? Do you use Velveeta? (It doesn’t look It from the color)
Hi! Yes, I grab it from the deli and shred it myself or grate it with my food processor attachment. Hope this helps 🙂
