First Recipe: Easy-Cheesy Philly Cheese Steaks!

These really live up to their name--easy and cheesy and delicious! The original recipe is on http://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/ if you want to check it out. I'll re-type it for us though!

2 c. beef broth (I just used water and they were fine)
1 pkg onion soup mix
1 lb. Black Angus rare roast beef (regular roast beef works great too, just make sure it's from the deli and thinly sliced)
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 large white or yellow onion, sliced
sliced mushrooms (I added this one and it was a yummy addition)
8 oz. cream cheese
sliced provolone cheese (2 slices per sandwich)
3-4 hoagie rolls (I put butter on them and toasted them first. Made them extra delicious)

Boil the beef broth (or water) with the onion soup mix. Add roast beef and let simmer for 5-10 minutes--we let it simmer until the all the red was out of the meat. You might want to seperate the meat before you put it in or it tends to stay in one clump. Drain the juice when it is done simmering and use it to dip your sandwich in if you want.

Sautee the veggies in oil and toast the rolls.

From here we just put everything on the roll. We skipped the cheese part because I didn't have any and Corlan doesn't eat cheese, but they were still really yummy and so easy to make.BUT if you are using cheese, follow the instructions from Favorite Family Recipes: "Add roast beef to skillet (with veggies) along with about 4 oz. of cream cheese. Spread remaining cream cheese on each hoagie roll. When the cream cheese in the skillet is all melted, generously portion beef mixture onto each hoagie roll. Top with provolone cheese and place sandwiches, open-faced on a large baking sheet. Broil on high for about a minute or until cheese becomes bubbly and bread becomes slightly toasty. Remove from oven and serve immediately."

I think I might have missed out on the best part of the recipe. I'll try the cheese next time I make it!

Enjoy!
