Looks Delicious! Philly Steak Grilled Cheese

Posted by in Looks Delicious!

Tasty Kitchen Blog: Looks Delicious! (Philly Steak Grilled Cheese, submitted by Dana Blacklock of Killing Thyme)

Plain grilled cheese is incredible on its own. A Philly cheesesteak? Sublime. But when you put the two together and then throw in sautéed onions, peppers, and mushrooms, then you’re just showing off. Wrap it up in foil and throw it on a grid over fire? Now you’re flirting with sandwich greatness.

I can think of so many words to describe this Philly Steak Grilled Cheese, but I think Dana hit upon the perfect pair in her description of this sandwich: “Messy, and amazing.”

Thanks for sharing this, Dana! Now I know the very next thing I’m putting on my grill.

Have a great weekend, folks!
