Notes

  • Substitutions:
  • Ground Beef — You can use either 80% lean or 93% lean, however since there is so much fat in the cheese, I usually buy 93%.
  • Cream Cheese — You can substitute low fat cream cheese if preferred, but stay away from fat free for this recipe since it doesn’t melt and combine in the same way.
  • How to Store: To save the leftovers, divide the ground beef mixture into meal sized portions and store in an airtight container in the 
  • Once ready to eat, add to fresh, or thawed sub rolls.
  • How to Freeze: These ground beef philly cheesesteaks work well for freezing both before or after cooking to make an easy weeknight meal that you can have prepped and stored for up to 6 months. For full instructions, read the freezer section in the post above.
