Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks

These Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks take everything I love about a classic cheesesteak—tender beef, melted cheese, and sautéed peppers—and wrap it inside golden, cheesy breadsticks that are perfect for dipping, sharing, or devouring on the go. They’re cheesy, gooey, and packed with bold flavor in every bite.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how these stuffed breadsticks are both comforting and crave-worthy. They’re like handheld cheesesteak sandwiches but with a cheesy, pull-apart twist. They’re perfect for game day snacks, party appetizers, or even a fun dinner idea when I want something cheesy and satisfying. Plus, they’re easy to make with store-bought dough or homemade.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Thinly sliced beef (like ribeye, sirloin, or deli roast beef)

• Bell peppers, sliced

• Onion, sliced

• Garlic, minced

• Olive oil or butter

• Pizza dough or breadstick dough (store-bought or homemade)

• Provolone or mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced

• Cheddar cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)

• Italian seasoning

• Salt and pepper

• Butter (for brushing)

• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1. I start by sautéing sliced onions, bell peppers, and garlic in olive oil until soft and fragrant.

2. I add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet and cook just until browned and tender, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Then I let the mixture cool slightly.

3. I roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle and cut it into strips, wide enough to fill and fold.

4. I spoon the beef and pepper mixture down the center of each strip and top with provolone or mozzarella cheese.

5. I fold and seal the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to keep everything inside.

6. I place the breadsticks seam-side down on a baking sheet, brush them with melted butter, and sprinkle with extra cheese and herbs.

7. I bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15–20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

8. I let them cool slightly before slicing and serve them warm with a side of marinara, cheese sauce, or ranch.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 6–8 stuffed breadsticks and takes about 40 minutes total, including prep and baking time.

Variations

• I use different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss for variety.

• For extra flavor, I spread a little garlic butter inside the dough before adding the filling.

• I sometimes add mushrooms for a heartier version.

• To make it spicy, I mix in sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes.

• I’ve also made mini versions as sliders using biscuit dough or crescent rolls.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm them in the oven at 350°F until heated through, or in an air fryer for crispiness. The microwave works too, but the crust won’t be as crispy. These can also be frozen and reheated from frozen for a quick snack.

FAQs

Can I use pre-cooked beef?

Yes, I sometimes use leftover steak or thin-sliced deli roast beef for convenience. I just make sure it’s heated through and seasoned well.

What’s the best dough for this recipe?

I usually use refrigerated pizza dough, but homemade dough or even crescent dough works great for a softer bite.

Do I need to precook the filling?

Yes, I always cook the beef and veggies before stuffing to ensure everything is flavorful and safe to eat.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely. I assemble them in advance and keep them in the fridge until ready to bake. Great for prepping before guests arrive.

What dipping sauces go best?

I love serving these with warm cheese sauce, garlic butter, marinara, or even ranch dressing—they all pair well with the cheesesteak flavors.
