Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb roast beef deli meat, sliced and chopped into ¼ inch pieces
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese (1 brick, 250 grams), room temperature
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 8 slices provolone cheese, chopped into ¼ inch pieces (or 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper, or to taste
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
- Green onion, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃). Grease an oven-safe baking dish or skillet with cooking spray and set it aside to prepare for the dip.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until it becomes lightly caramelized. Then add the chopped green bell pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peppers are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Mix the Cheese Base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded mozzarella, and chopped provolone cheese. Stir these ingredients well until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Add Meat and Vegetables: Add the chopped roast beef deli meat, sautéed peppers and onions, salt, and black pepper into the cheese mixture. Stir everything thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated. Optional: Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the chopped roast beef and cooked vegetables for garnish.
- Assemble the Dip: Spread the dip evenly into the greased oven-safe baking dish or skillet. Optionally, sprinkle the reserved roast beef and vegetables on top as a garnish for extra texture and presentation.
- Bake the Dip: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly. Then remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 2-3 minutes to slightly brown the top.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, garnish the dip with fresh chopped parsley and sliced green onions. Serve immediately with sliced baguette, tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping and enjoy your warm, cheesy Philly Cheesesteak Dip!
Notes
- Use good quality roast beef deli meat for the best flavor and texture.
- If provolone cheese is not available, Swiss or extra mozzarella can be used as a substitute.
- Room temperature cream cheese blends more easily for a smooth dip.
- This dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; just reheat before serving.
- Adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper as preferred.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper or diced jalapeños when cooking the vegetables.
