I’ve always been a HUGE fan of Philly Cheesesteaks. Cheese, steak, peppers and onions – what’s not to love??? We have ONE restaurant here in the Sacramento area that serves amazing Philly Cheesesteaks and I wish it was just a little bit closer to us…like, a block away would be perfect 🙂
I don’t get by there nearly as often as I’d like to so sometimes it’s necessary to make Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteaks at home. This recipe is a great for weeknights and couldn’t be simpler to prepare. You know me – I love my slow cooker recipes 🙂
My boys are a tad particular when it comes to steak. Unless the meat is super tender – they refuse to eat it. Cooking the steak in the slow cooker is a great way to ensure optimal tenderness. I can even use less expensive cuts that still result in Reece-approved tenderness. The meat is just braising away in the broth, getting more flavorful by the minute!
I LOVE recipes that require only a few ingredients and this one fits the bill. Serving up these Philly Cheesesteaks with some homemade french fries and a green salad makes the whole family feel like we’re eating out but from the convenience of our home.
What are your favorite recipes to make in the slow cooker? Do you find yourself using it more as the weather cools? As I’m writing this I’ve got two slow cookers going – one with chili and one with cornbread – so I guess I’m using mine A LOT right now!

Erin says
This is a great recipe. I made it for the first time this week and it was so good, we fought over the leftovers the next day! Thanks!

LOVE hearing that Erin! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Jenna says
Hey Trish! Should I cut the meat before I cook it or after? I’m a newbie at these things. thanks!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yes Jenna – thinly slice the beef before cooking it. Thanks for stopping by!
Betty says
Trish, a trick to thinly sliced meat is to freeze it just until it is firm (not frozen solid … about 15-20 minutes) and use a very sharp knife to slice it.
Elaine Skinner says
Made this for my husbands birthday dinner. I used a flank steak. I found this very easy to make and very tasty! Will make again!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s wonderful Elaine! Thanks for stopping by!
Sarah says
I made this tonight and everybody loved it! Maybe it is just me and it is just my Korean taste bud and I haven’t tasted enough cheese steak but it didn’t have enough flavor for me 🙁 But everybody loved it! Would you recommend a change in anything? Maybe I did something wrong…I doubled the recipe 🙁
Paula Salmon says
Sarah,
Since reading your post, I was a bit worried about the flavor because I am really into having lots of spices and herbs. So we added half of a scorpion pepper and let me say that you will not be disappointed in the bump up in spice. 🙂
