# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It transforms all the savory magic of a Philly cheesesteak into something you can scoop with one hand while holding a drink in the other.
  • The combination of caramelized peppers, juicy ribeye, and molten provolone creates layers of flavor that keep people coming back.
  • It bakes into a golden, bubbly masterpiece that looks as good as it tastes.
  • You can prep everything ahead and just pop it in the oven when guests arrive.
02 -
  • Don't overcook the ribeye or it will turn tough and chewy in the finished dip.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing or you'll end up with lumps no amount of stirring will fix.
  • If the dip looks too thick, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk before baking to loosen it up.
03 -
  • Shred your own provolone instead of buying pre-shredded, it melts so much better and doesn't have any anti-caking agents.
  • If you want an extra crispy top, broil the dip for the last minute or two of baking, but watch it closely so it doesn't burn.
  • Let the dip rest for about 5 minutes after baking so it sets up just enough to scoop without being runny.
