Reviews
Absolutely Delicious!
I’ve never been to Philly, but I have watched enough travel cooking shows to know that this recipe seems pretty legit. I used my cast iron griddle and followed the recipe exactly (with Cheez Whiz of course!) and it made 3 nice sized sandwiches. This is a keeper…looking forward to making these on my outdoor griddle this summer.
Not what I thought Philly cheesesteak was.
We love these and make them regularly. Easy to make and tasty. Good with mushrooms, too (add them with the onion and pepper).
This was simple to make and very good. I will definitely make it again.
Very easy and very tasty. I skipped the cheez wiz. I’m not health food enthusiast, but I don’t think that stuff is technically food.
“The ingredients list contains “cheese culture” but does not, according to Kraft, actually contain any “cheese” according to the Wikipedia page.
Great easy sandwich
Been to Philly several times. Ate Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches several times.
Believe me, it was always Cheese Whiz.
