On day three of Super Bowl Snack week I am breaking the rules by not sharing a “snack”, but to me Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches are a great super bowl food.  In my version of of this classic, I pile sauteed steak and onions on a toasted hoagie roll and top it all with a savory cheese sauce. I wont lie, it is very messy, but it is totally worth it.

Makes: 2 sandwiches

You will need:

• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound thinly sliced round steak (I found this in the meat section of my local grocery store)
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
• kosher salt and pepper to taste
• 2 hoagie rolls
• cheese sauce (recipe follows)

1. Preheat your oven broiler.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add butter and olive oil. When butter melts add onion. Cook until onions start to turn brown and caramelize, about 10-15 minutes.  Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet add round steak, granulated garlic, worcestershire, salt and pepper. Cook until meat is cooked through, about 3 minutes.
4. Toast the hoagie rolls under the broiler until they turn golden, about 1 minute.
5. Layer the meat, onions and cheese sauce on the hoagie roll. Serve.

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon flour

Now pass the napkins, cold beer and enjoy!
