Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks Recipe
Ingredients:
For the breadsticks:
- 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough or homemade pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Philly cheesesteak filling:
- 1 lb thinly sliced rib-eye steak or flank steak (or deli-style roast beef)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small bell pepper, thinly sliced (green or red)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups provolone cheese or American cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Philly Cheesesteak Filling:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add the sliced steak to the pan, breaking it up as you cook it. Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce (optional).
- Cook until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle (about 12×8 inches). If you’re using store-bought dough, this should be quick and easy!
- Brush the dough with olive oil, then sprinkle it with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
3. Assemble the Breadsticks:
- Evenly spread the cooked Philly cheesesteak filling over the center of the pizza dough, leaving about 1 inch of dough around the edges.
- Top the filling with the cheese—either provolone or American cheese. Feel free to add more cheese if you like it extra cheesy!
- Carefully fold the sides of the dough over the filling to create a long, stuffed breadstick shape (like a calzone or stromboli).
- Pinch the ends and sides of the dough to seal it tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside as it bakes.
4. Bake the Stuffed Breadsticks:
- Place the stuffed breadsticks onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly inside.
5. Finishing Touches:
- Remove the breadsticks from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before slicing them into individual breadsticks.
- Serve with a side of marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping (optional).

- Make it spicy: Add some jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the filling for a little heat.
