Description
Cheesesteak Garlic Bread Loaf is a mash-up of classic Philly cheesesteak flavors and buttery garlic bread. Packed with beef, peppers, onions, and melty provolone inside a toasted Italian loaf, it’s perfect for sharing at game day, parties, or family dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 large Italian bread loaf
- 1 lb thinly sliced beef or ground beef
- 1 cup mixed bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup onions, sliced
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 3 tbsp garlic butter (or softened butter with minced garlic)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Worcestershire sauce, oregano, paprika, chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice loaf lengthwise and hollow out some of the soft bread to create space for filling.
- Spread garlic butter on cut sides and place bread cut-side up on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes to lightly toast.
- Meanwhile, cook beef in a skillet until browned. Add onions and peppers, sauté until softened, and season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Layer half the meat mixture into the bottom half of the loaf. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Repeat with remaining filling and cheese.
- Bake 6–8 minutes until cheese is melted. For a golden top, broil for 1–2 minutes.
- Remove from oven, garnish with parsley, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin gives the best cheesesteak flavor.
- Toast bread before filling to prevent sogginess.
- Mixing cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar with provolone makes it extra gooey.
- Mushrooms, jalapeños, or red pepper flakes can be added for variation.
