Notes:

  • Dairy-Free Alternative: Use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan cheese slices.
  • Extra Flavor: Add mushrooms or Worcestershire sauce for a more authentic cheesesteak taste.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Protein Swap: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
