Step 1: Prepare the Philly Cheesesteak Filling

First, you’ll want to prepare the delicious Philly cheesesteak filling, as this will need some time to cook and cool down a bit before you assemble your breadsticks.

  1. Cook the vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms (if using). Sauté them for 5-7 minutes until they become soft and tender. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
  2. Cook the steak: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef steak to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned but not fully cooked through (it will cook more later when combined with the other ingredients).
  3. Add flavoring: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and beef broth. Scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet (this adds amazing flavor). Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the beef is fully cooked.
  4. Add the cream cheese: Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese melts and coats the beef and vegetables in a creamy, delicious sauce.
  5. Add the cheeses: Once the cream cheese has melted, add in the provolone and cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese melts into the filling. The result should be a cheesy, creamy, and flavorful mixture.
  6. Cool the filling: Transfer the cheesesteak filling to a bowl and set it aside to cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to handle when you stuff the breadsticks.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

While your filling is cooling, you can prepare the pizza dough.

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a rectangle shape, about 10×14 inches. If you’re using pre-made dough, it should be relatively easy to work with. Make sure it’s evenly rolled out, so it bakes evenly.

Step 3: Assemble the Stuffed Breadsticks

Now that you have your filling and dough ready, it’s time to assemble the Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks.

  1. Add cheese: Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the center of the dough, leaving about 1-2 inches along the edges for folding.
  2. Stuff with the Philly cheesesteak filling: Take a spoon and scoop a generous amount of the Philly cheesesteak filling onto the mozzarella cheese. Spread it out evenly across the dough.
  3. Roll the dough: Carefully fold the sides of the dough over the filling, and then roll the dough up into a tight log or cylinder. Pinch the edges of the dough to seal the roll completely.
  4. Slice the breadsticks: Cut the dough into 1-inch slices using a sharp knife. Arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each slice, as they will puff up during baking.

Step 4: Bake the Breadsticks

  1. Brush with butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder. Brush the tops of the breadsticks with the garlic butter mixture. This will give them a golden, savory crust.
  2. Add Parmesan cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of each breadstick for added flavor and crunch.
  3. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the breadsticks for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Once your Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve them warm with a side of marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

These stuffed breadsticks are perfect for parties, game days, or any time you want a delicious and fun meal. They’re sure to be a hit with everyone who loves the combination of cheesesteaks and cheesy bread.

Tips and Variations

  1. Alternative Proteins: If you’re not a fan of beef, you can substitute with chicken, turkey, or even tofu for a vegetarian version. Just make sure to adjust the cooking times accordingly.
  2. Add More Veggies: Feel free to experiment with other veggies, such as spinach, zucchini, or even jalapeños if you like a bit of heat.
  3. Make it Spicy: Add some diced jalapeños or chili flakes to the cheesesteak filling for a spicy kick.
  4. Use Different Cheeses: You can customize the cheese blend based on your preference. Monterey Jack, Gouda, or even pepper jack cheese would work well.
  5. Garlic Parmesan Crust: For an extra cheesy and garlicky finish, sprinkle some garlic powder and Parmesan cheese on top of the breadsticks before baking.
  6. Serving Size: If you want to make smaller appetizers, you can slice the breadsticks into smaller pieces.

Conclusion

Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks are a mouthwatering, fun, and indulgent dish that combines the savory goodness of a Philly cheesesteak with the irresistible comfort of cheesy breadsticks. Perfect for sharing or indulging in a satisfying meal, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.

  • Top with shredded provolone cheese and, if desired, shredded cheddar cheese for extra cheesiness.

4. Stuff and Fold:

Notes

  • Dough options: You can use store-bought pizza dough, homemade dough, or even crescent roll dough for a different texture.

  • Extra fillings: You can add sautéed mushrooms, jalapeños, or any other Philly cheesesteak toppings you like.
  • Make it spicy: For a spicy kick, add some sliced jalapeños to the filling or sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on top before baking.
