Description
A delicious twist on classic garlic bread, filled with savory cheesesteak and gooey melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large Italian bread loaf
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lb beef steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
Instructions
- Start by preparing the bread. Slice the Italian loaf lengthwise and carefully hollow out some of the soft interior to create space for the filling. As you do this, the smell of fresh bread sets the tone for what’s to come.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley. Brush this mixture generously over the inside of the bread. This step builds that classic garlic bread flavor that will wrap around every bite.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until browned and tender. Remove the beef and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté the sliced onions and green bell peppers until they’re soft and slightly caramelized. Their sweetness balances the savory richness of the beef beautifully.
- Return the beef to the pan and mix everything together. Then stir in half of the cheese, letting it melt slightly into the filling. At this point, the mixture becomes irresistibly gooey and aromatic.
- Now comes the fun part—stuffing the loaf. Spoon the cheesesteak mixture evenly into the prepared bread, pressing gently so it fills every corner. Top with the remaining cheese for that golden, melty finish.
- Place the loaf on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the bread are crisp and golden.
- Once out of the oven, let the Cheesesteak Stuffed Garlic Bread Loaf cool slightly before slicing. Each piece reveals layers of cheesy, savory filling tucked inside crisp, buttery bread.
