TIPS FOR MAKING PHILLY CHEESESTEAK CUPS:

  • For this recipe we use ground beef, but if you want a more authentic flavor you can use ribeye steak or even deli roast beef.
  • Provolone is our go-to cheese but you can also use mozzarella.
  • We like to use the crescent dough sheets because they do not need to have the seams sealed and are easier to cut into squares.
  • Make sure you grease your muffin tin well so these do not stick.
  • You can easily double this batch if you are serving more people.
