Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich
This ground beef Philly cheesesteak sandwich is a little spin off of the traditional Philly Cheesesteak. It’s perfect especially if you can’t find chipped beef.
I love a good cheesesteak, and in this area you can definitely find a good one. Making it at home can be a bit more challenging as finding the chipped steak isn’t always easy. I love to have ground beef on hand at all times so I can make this Simple Skillet Baked Pasta. So, I decided to substitute in the ground beef for the meat and created this cheesesteak sandwich using all may favorite toppings and it’s delicious.
