Cheesesteak Mac and Cheese

Cheesesteaks are one of my all-time favorite sandwiches, this mac and cheese is a really yummy twist on the classic cheesesteak flavor. 

This creamy delicious dish will keep you happy all throughout the year especially when the weather starts cooling down.

It’s comfort food at it’s best as soon as the beef and onions hit the hot skillet the aroma is intoxicating!

There is something so fantastic about beef and cheese together, just think about it, like cheeseburgers… it’s an irresistible flavor combo.

I have a somewhat picky eater in my home, but the number one request is beef and cheese,

quesadilla with taco meat or sliced beef, tacos, hamburger, meatballs with sauce and cheese. you name it

Getting a great meal ready fast is always the goal here, and this is a winner every time!

other great recipes using onions:

• Sour Cream and Onion Mashed Potatoes
• Avocado Onion Dip
• Caramelized Onions
• Sweet Potatoes and Onions
• Quick Pickled Onions

This has all the delicious flavors of a Philly Cheesesteak in a one-dish meal that is great to get on the table fast on weeknights, for game day, or a drizzly rainy afternoon to grab a bowl and watch a movie with.

You can add other items in this like: mushrooms, or peppers, or jalapenos to give it a little kick!

Now that the weather is cooling down one-dish meals that are hot and ready fast should be at the top of everyone’s must make list!
