My hubby and sons will be so happy if I make this for them. It has all their favorite ingredients!

Great idea. I love bell peppers.

Your call. That’s why I made the ham optional. I have one kiddo who’s still not sure about mushrooms so that was for her;)

Not at all–Philly cheesesteaks are usually with thinly sliced steak cooked at high heat with peppers and then covered in Cheez Whiz on a hoagie roll. The ham isn’t usual and was more to satisfy those in the house that wanted a little meat in the sandwich. You could go completely veggie and this would be equally good.

I often substitute portebello mushrooms for meat, thanks for this!

yes! we often make mushroom cheesteak (so to speak) sandwiches. have also made them focusing on the peppers and onions, with mushrooms more as a condiment — that combination is good too.

I’m a bit unsure about the deli ham addition, but the rest of it sounds fantastic!

I have never had a Philly cheesesteak. Is ham the usual meat?? That’s not what I’d envisioned!

Definitely. I had portobello nachos for lunch today. They have such a great, meaty, earthy flavor, don’t they?
