Why you’ll love this recipe

Crockpot Philly Cheesesteak is a hands-off wonder that cooks itself while you're out and about. Easy to prep and even easier to devour, it promises tenderness and a rich taste that feels like a hug from a good meal. It's hearty, satisfying, and a solution for those days when you crave a home-cooked dinner without much fuss.

Ingredients

1 beef bouillon cube
1¾ cups hot water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 pounds top sirloin steak cut into very thin strips
1 medium red bell pepper sliced thin (about 1 cup)
1 medium green bell pepper sliced thin (about 1 cup)
1 medium white onion sliced thin (about ½ cup)
6 hoagie buns sliced in half lengthways
3 tablespoon butter
6 slices provolone cheese cut in strips

Step-by-step instructions

In a large measuring cup, dissolve the beef bouillon cube in hot water. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, then set aside.
Place the beef strips, red, and green peppers along with the onion in your crockpot.
Pour the beef bouillon mixture over the meat and veggies in the crockpot. Stir to ensure everything is coated.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours until the meat is perfectly tender.
Preheat your oven to 400°F when the meat is done. Spread butter on the hoagie buns and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up; bake until they are golden and toasted around the edges — about 5 minutes.
Fill each bun generously with the beef mixture, top with provolone cheese slices, and return them to the oven for about 3 minutes or until the cheese melts beautifully. Serve immediately.

Recipe tips & variations

For a bit of a kick, add some sliced jalapeños. If your family prefers, you can substitute the sirloin with any other tender beef cut you have. Play around with flavors, maybe even add some mushrooms if you’re feeling adventurous.

Storage & reheating

Got leftovers or cooked it in advance? You can store this in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat it in the oven or microwave, making sure it's piping hot before serving again.
