Philly Cheesesteak Dip
This savory appetizer includes steak bites, chopped green peppers, onions, and my very special secret ingredient!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Italian bread or any sturdy loaf bread
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 cup coarsely chopped green pepper
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 package McCormick® Brown Gravy Mix
- ½ cup milk, I prefer whole milk with this recipe
- 15 ounces jarred processed cheese sauce, such as Cheez Whiz®
- 1 pound steak bites
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsly
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place bread on lined baking sheet.
- Cut an oval or circle out of the top of the bread and remove bread center to make room for the dip.
- Carefully remove more bread to create a consistent hole in the bread. Chop all bread into bite-size pieces.
- Set aside for baking.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add vegetables; cook and stir 3 minutes or until tender-crisp. Stir Gravy Mix, cheese sauce, milk, and ⅔ of steak bites into skillet until well blended.
- Spoon dip into bread.
- Bake 15 minutes or until heated through.
- Melt 1 stick butter. Add garlic powder and dried parsley. Stir until well combined. Coat all bread pieces with butter mixture and then place on a parchment (or foil) lined cookies sheet. Bake for 15 in the oven with the bread bowl. Pieces may need to be turned once half-way through baking.
- Serve dip with bread pieces and place remaining steak bites on top.
