When it comes to party planning, who can resist a good dip? Some of our other favorites are Easy Refried Bean Dip or this delicious Trader Joe’s Lentil Bruschetta Feta Dip! Guys, I don’t know how it happened but the one time I visited Philadelphia I didn’t get an authentic philly cheesesteak sandwich! Or at least I don’t remember it. I blame it on being too young to know better at the time. I definitely remember visiting Independence Hall where the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence were both written, but I was roadtripping with my family (this was before I got married) all over American landmark and historical sites including Niagara Falls, NYC, Gettysburg, and Monticello, and our stop in Philadelphia was just too short to see it all and try everything! But it gives me another good reason to go back! If anybody has spent a lot of time in Philadelphia and knows where to get the best philly cheesesteak sandwich, let me know! I’ve even heard that you have to know how to order it just the right way and that there is debate about whether a classic philly cheesesteak sandwich involves Cheez Wiz or provolone. But it’s no big secret that classic philly cheesesteak sandwiches are a hot, melty combination of juicy beef, sauteed onions and peppers, and plenty of melty cheese loaded onto a bun. This dip has all that except in a scoopable, heavy on the cheese, form. It’s such a creamy, cheesy, savory dip that is amazing with sliced baguette or tortilla chips and perfect for your next game day as an appetizer or on a buffet table.
Freaky Friday Winter Blog Hop
Freaky Friday is a fun event between some of my food blogging friends where we are secretly assigned another blogger to highlight by recreating one of their recipes and sharing it on our own blogs. Check out all of my other Freaky Friday recipes! This philly cheesesteak dip recipe is from the blog An Affair from the Heart. I was super excited when I was assigned Michaela’s blog for our Freaky Friday recipe swap, because I have known her for a while from other groups and she has so many incredible recipes to choose from! I was seriously this close to making her chocolate macaroon bundt cake or her pink lemonade cake. But then I got sucked in to all her incredible appetizer and tailgating recipes and knew I just had to make one of her fabulous dips! It was a tough choice with options like Texas trash dip (I mean, who can resist a warm, cheesy bean dip?) and her crock pot reuben dip (save this one to use up St. Patrick’s Day corned beef leftovers!). But this classic philly cheesesteak turned into dippable form won me over. I feel a special connection with Michaela thanks to my Nebraska roots. My family lived in Elkhorn, Nebraska, where Michaela is from, back when I was in college and I spent a summer living and working there between semesters. Definitely go check out An Affair from the Heart and she all the amazing recipes she has on her site!
How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Dip
Tips for the Best Philly Cheesesteak Dip Recipe
This recipe calls for sliced deli roast beef, which makes it super easy since you don’t have to cook a steak to make the dip. But if you wanted to, you could sear a nice rib eye seasoned with salt and pepper in a couple tablespoons of butter and oil in a hot skillet for 4-6 minutes on each side, then slice it into thin, bite-size pieces and use that instead. Or just use leftover steak if you happen to have one in the fridge. If you don’t have provolone on hand, you could sub in mozzarella or even monterey jack instead, but it won’t be quite the same flavor or as true to the authentic philly cheesesteak experience. Serve this with a thinly sliced baguette. My favorite baguettes are the ones from the Costco bakery – they are so good! You can toast them or serve them soft, which is how I like to do it. Pita chips, tortilla chips, pretzels, and even crisp veggies like carrots would be other good dippable vehicles for transporting this warm, cheesy deliciousness to your mouth as well. You could sprinkle the dip with some chopped fresh parsley or even chopped green onions for a pop of color. I even had parsley on hand and meant to do that when I photographed this philly cheesesteak dip, but honestly got so excited about eating it that I totally spaced it and then before I knew it the dip was half gone. Oops.
