If you’re unfamiliar with the classic Philly Cheesesteak, let us introduce you! The legendary sandwich is traditionally composed of thinly sliced steak, melted cheese (there are famously two camps of Cheesesteak purists—those that prefer provolone, and those that prefer Cheez Whiz), and various griddled toppings like peppers, onions, and mushrooms. It’s all nestled into a long, soft roll. The bread is arguably the most important part of the sandwich, so we think plush, pillowy Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Biscuits are perfect for a starring role in this casserole. Call it homage to our ideal version of this regional favorite. You’ll be surprised at how much it tastes like the real deal—a decadent Philly Cheesesteak hiding in a casserole dish.

Recipe Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this mouth-watering biscuit bake.

Ground beef: Use beef on the leaner side (90% lean is perfect) to keep this cheesy casserole from feeling too heavy.

Milk: Milk is the base of the cheese sauce. Don’t use less than 2% to keep creaminess to the max!

Cheese: We used both types of cheese usually found in a Philly Cheesesteak. Kraft™ Velveeta™ stands in for Cheez Whiz, and provolone adds a ton of traditional flavor.

Peppers and Onions: To minimize prep time, we call for a frozen pepper and onion blend. Feel free to substitute with the same amount of sliced fresh peppers and onions.

Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Original Biscuits: Southern Homestyle Original work best for this recipe, but you can substitute any variety of Southern Homestyle or Flaky Layers biscuits if that’s what you have.

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: salt, pepper, and green onions (optional).

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Biscuit Bake

Here’s a peek at how to make the best Philly Cheesesteak Biscuit Bake. Follow the recipe for more detail.

1. Cook the Beef

Season beef and cook until browned. You should only have a small amount of fat in the pan—don't drain it!

2. Add Milk and Cheese

Add milk and Velveeta™ to the pan. Make sure the pan is over very low heat so the cheese doesn’t become grainy. Turn off the heat, and stir in provolone until it melts completely.

3. Add Veggies and Biscuits

Stir in the veggies and biscuit pieces. Use a folding motion, gently lifting from the bottom and turning the mixture over on itself to avoid mashing or tearing the biscuit dough.

4. Top with Cheese and Bake

Pour the mixture into the dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle with remaining provolone cheese, and bake until golden brown and bubbly.
