# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • All the cheesy, beefy comfort of a cheesesteak without the carb overload
  • Ready in under an hour with minimal prep work
  • Reheats beautifully for lunch the next day, maybe even better
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time, the flavors need those minutes to meld together
  • The cream cheese might look clumpy at first, keep stirring and it will smooth out
03 -
  • Pat the beef dry with paper towels before cooking for better browning
  • Let your cream cheese soften at room temperature for an hour, it will melt much smoother
