Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter, divided
• 3/4 cup diced onion
• 3/4 cup diced green bell pepper
• 1 pound deli roast beef, diced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 (16-ounce) can of buttermilk biscuits

Instructions

Preheat oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking pan with parchment paper. Place the 8 biscuits onto the parchment paper and let them warm up slightly.

Make the Philly cheesesteak filling

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Season the mixture with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder for a flavor boost.

Add roast beef and cheese

3. Stir in the diced roast beef and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through. Then, add the grated Monterey Jack cheese, stirring until it melts and combines beautifully with the beef and vegetables. Once melted, remove the skillet from heat.

Stuff the biscuits

4. Gently pull apart each biscuit slightly to create a pocket. Fill each biscuit with about 1/4 cup of the cheesesteak mixture. Be careful not to overfill, as you’ll need to seal the edges by pinching the dough together.

Brush with butter

5. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to generously coat the tops of the stuffed biscuits with the melted butter, which will help them achieve a golden-brown color during baking.

Bake

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Serve

7. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Biscuits!
