"Philly" Cheesesteak Sandwiches

I'm putting Philly in quotes because this isn't technically like a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich but it's still a cheesy steak sandwich. I made these ironically though on the day that "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", one of our favorite shows, came back with it's season premiere.

Our local grocery store had a huge sale on meat and when I went shopping I had only a few things on my list, none of which would help me with dinner really, other than "meat". Well, they had this sirloin steak on sale and it looked good but not as a slab of beef so the only thing I could think to do with it is maybe a steak salad or something with thin strips of steak. While walking past the bakery I saw hoagie buns - Mmm... bread! Then it hit me - STEAK SANDWICHES!!!

For us to make they were super simple and delicious but if anyone else wants to make them I'm sure you'd want to tweak as ours were literally just the meat, some seasoning, cheese and bread. But, that's what we like.

"Philly" Cheesesteak Sandwiches

Ingredients
~1lb. thin sirloin tip steak, thinly sliced
~ 1/2 tablespoon Lawry's Season Salt
1 teaspoon minced onion
1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped
2 slices Provelone Cheese
2 Hoagie Rolls
Olive Oil to coat skillet

Directions
- Preheat broiler or Preheat oven to about 375
- after slicing steak, toss in a bowl with Season Salt, Minced Onion and Garlic to coat steak with seasonings
- heat oil in skillet over medium heat
- add steak to skillet and stir occasionally to flip, cook until steak reaches desired temperature (I over cooked a little)
- Split rolls in half, long-ways, but not all the way through
- top each roll with meat mixture - about 1/3 a pound of meat (keep some meat for a nice salad for lunch, side salad the next day, etc.!)
- Split each slice of provelone in half and place 2 halves on each sandwich
- Place sandwiches on a broiler safe/oven-safe baking sheet and place in broiler for a few minutes until cheese is melted, or in oven for about 5-8 minutes until cheese is melted.
* Most people will probably want to add a step - sauteeing up lots of onion to place the steak on. Also, to make it a little more authentic to Philly I could have used Cheese-Wiz but I didn't want to do that.

The Best Vanilla Cupcake Recipe

A fabulous vanilla cupcake recipe is something everyone needs. EVERY.ONE. Not just bakers. Not just parents that host a lot of kid parties. Everyone.

It was an easy batter to make, baked up beautifully, and most importantly - tasted amazing. Regardless if you have never made vanilla cupcakes and need a recipe to start with, or even if you think you have the best - give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed!

Slow Cooker or Pressure Cooker Beef Chili

I don't experiment much with chili because it rarely goes well for me and my family. I've slowly adapted my chili recipe over the years, but I've still always used canned chili beans, with a flavored sauce. I've been wanting to try regular beans (whether canned or dried, I wasn't discerning, just didn't want the sauce), so off to the Googles I went rather than trying to recreate the spice blend from my normal canned beans. Because I was originally planning to make chili in the Instant Pot, that's where I focused my search. Thankfully the recipe I decided to try was adapted from a Slow Cooker recipe, because life got in my way and I wasn't able to make the chili the night before as planned, and I wouldn't have had time to use the pressure cooker with my schedule that day. What drew me to this recipe was the simplicity of the ingredients. And lack of jalapeno. Because somehow nearly every time I plan chili I forget to buy a jalapeno, even if it

White Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Filling

OK, so, while this recipe was the result of me literally quick thinking at the grocery store rushing around to pick up a few ingredients over Easter weekend, I came up with a fantastic cake filling, in my humble opinion.  I love the cake fillings at Costco and wanted to make a variation on that.  This is really semi-homemade but oh so good!  It's rich, creamy and decadent.  Even my husband loved it, and he's not really a cake fan.  It was so easy to make too! White Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Filling Ingredients: 1 package Jello Pudding - Cheesecake flavor 1 8-oz. container Whipped Cream Cheese, softened 1 8-oz, container Cool Whip, thawed 3 oz. White Chocolate, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla Directions: Beat softened cream cheese and vanilla with mixer until well blended and light (a few minutes). Beat in pudding mix until fully incorporated. Stir in melted white chocolate. Fold in thawed Cool Whip Allow to set in fridge for a few hours, but don't let it get
