I absolutely love the flavors of Philly Cheese Steak and this easy dinner idea is inspired by the Philadelphia classic!
When we switched to eating grain free (and avoiding chemicals in food), the classic version served on white bread with nacho cheese sauce wasn’t on the menu anymore, but this healthier adaption is a favorite in our house. Even better, it is simple to make and the kids enjoy the unusual presentation…
