Recipe Notes

Only assemble the sandwiches that you are going to eat. Refrigerate any remaining crock pot ingredients in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 
I love having the peppers and onions soft but if you prefer firmer peppers and onions add them into the crock pot for the last hour only of the cooking time when cooking on low (30 minutes on high).

Tips for Philly Cheesesteaks

  • Melt the Cheese – You can put the sandwiches on a cookie sheet and place in the oven to let the cheese melt. Sometimes, I put an extra slice of cheese and it is so delicious all melted.
  • Onions and Mushrooms – Adding in onions and mushrooms adds flavor to the liquid and beef.
  • Brown the Beef – Some recipes call for browning the beef, it is not necessary but you can if you prefer.
  • Dip Sandwich – The liquid from cooking the ingredients is so good. It is great for dipping or spooning of your hoagies.
  • Butter the hoagies – For a crispy, hoagie butter them before placing the oven on a baking sheet. We love the crunch it gives.

Variations for Philly Cheesesteaks

  • Change the meat – We used round steak, but you can also use beef chuck roast. Both meats come out tender and full of flavor.
  • Cheese Options – Traditional a philly cheesesteaks are served with provolone, Cheez Whiz or American cheese. You can also use Mozzarella or cheddar cheese.
  • Bun Options – We use hoagie buns, but you can easily use rolls or even just loaf bread. If you are looking for a low carb option, serve it without the sub.
  • Worcestershire Sauce – Add in Worcestershire sauce for an added smoky flavor.

    Is this cooked on high or low for 6 hours? The recipe just says to cook “only” for 6 hours.
