My son asked me to try and come up with a casserole recipe for Philly Cheese Steak because that is one of his favorite sandwiches and I told him I was running out of new Ideas for Casserole Wednesday for him and his family. If you don't know I have the most amazing daughter-in-law who loves when I send over a meal on Wednesdays. Since I came up with a white castle casserole how hard could it be. This became the favorite over the mock pizza casserole from this site. If you're not big on peppers omit. Don't care for onions, use onion powder. Try as written first time , then adjust. Enjoy!

We used round steak when testing this recipe and it was delicious. It's a great way to serve multiple people a Philly cheesesteak. It's quick and super easy to make. We really love the amount of cheese added... makes this nice and creamy. Yummy!

    House seasoning from Pauls Deen is a staple in my family. Our recipe differs a little 3/4 c sea salt, 1/4 c restaurant pepper (which is a little coarser) and 1/4 c garlic powder. We add this to everything.
