Tips & Variations
- Use provolone for a classic Philly cheesesteak flavor.
- Add mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Wrap in foil for softer bread, or bake uncovered for a crispier crust.
I can also give you a faster, skillet-only version that doesn’t require baking if you want a quicker meal.
