With a satisfying chew and complex flavors, this is going to be a big hit with anyone. Best when served hot, but also a yummy lunchbox choice because melting the cheese on the bread keeps it from getting soggy. If you like, add potato chips and a dill pickle on the side.

Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (I used French's)
1 small onion, julienned or chopped
Half a medium green bell pepper, julienned or chopped
Salt and black pepper, to taste
8 to 10 slices Provolone cheese (2 for each sandwich)
8 to 10 slices hearty, white bread (2 for each sandwich)
2 to 3 tablespoons salted butter or margarine, for the bread, softened or melted

Steps:

  • Brown the meat in a heavy skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. (Leave it a little chunky.) Stir in the salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Remove meat from skillet. If needed, drain all except about 2 teaspoons of the excess grease from the skillet; add the chopped onions and bell pepper and cook just until tender and beginning to brown. Add a little salt and pepper. When the onions and bell pepper are done, add the meat back to the skillet and stir together. Remove from heat. Butter one side of enough bread slices to make 4 to 5 sandwiches. With the buttered sides down of 4 to 5 slices of bread, add a slice of cheese to each slice of bread. Top cheese with the meat mixture. Place another slice of cheese on top of the meat mixture. Cover each sandwich with a top slice of bread, buttered sides facing up. In a heavy, large skillet or griddle on medium heat, place the sandwiches and let cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until bread is browned and cheese is melted. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Choose a good quality bread that will hold up to the fillings.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese and toppings.
  • If you're using a frozen steak, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Cook the steak to your desired doneness.
  • Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
  • Use a generous amount of cheese, but not so much that it overwhelms the other flavors.
  • Toast the bread before assembling the sandwich.
  • Serve the sandwich hot and melty.
