Slow Cooker Cheesesteak Sandwiches
I have always love Philly cheesesteak. Made with some of my favorite ingredients like, melted cheese, tender beef, onions, and bell peppers. My favorite part of this cheesesteak sandwich is the yummy juice that is left in the slow cooker. I feel like it’s a cross between a French dip and a Philly cheesesteak.

Ingredients for Cheesesteak Sandwhiches
- Beef Roast: I prefer chuck or pot roast because they come out so tender when slow cooked.
- Olive Oil: I prefer extra virgin olive oil.
- Onion: Yellow onions are my favorite. I like to cut them into large slices.
- Garlic: Minced garlic in a jar is the easiest to use and I always have it on hand.
- Beef Broth: Low sodium beef broth
- French Onion Soup: Make sure you use the French onion soup and not the powder in the packets.
- Worchester Sauce: Optional, but I would definitely recommend.
- Bell Peppers: I like a combination of red and green, but you can use whatever you prefer.
- Cheese: My favorite is to slather the toasted bun with cheese whiz. You can also melt slices of provolone cheese.
- Hoagie Buns: Any large bun will work. I like to lightly toast the bun before serving.
- Mayonnaise: This is optional, but I like a thin layer of mayo on the bottom of my bun.

What is Philly Cheesesteak?
Philly Cheesesteak is a sandwich made with super thinly sliced ribeye steak, caramelized onion, and provolone cheese. That simple combination is the original classic as made popular on the East Coast. The Philly Cheesesteak has been modified on the West Coast to include bell peppers, mushrooms, and cheese whiz, but a true “Philly” only has steak, onion and cheese served over a roll.
Tips for the best Philly cheesesteak sandwhich
- Brown your beef on each side before placing it in the slow cooker. This allows the beef to become tender and juicy.
- Add bell peppers the last 45 minutes of cooking. If you add them earlier they will become too soft.
- Fell free to dip your Philly cheesesteak sandwich in the liquid left behind. It’s delicious.
- Lightly butter and toast your hoagie buns before adding the toppings. This will take your sandwich to the next level.
- I LOVE cheese whiz on spread on my sandwich, but if your not a fan of processed cheese top your Philly with a couple slices of provolone cheese.
- Spread a think layer of mayonnaise on the bottom of your toasted bun. This is delicious.
