Kickoff Your Football Season Right With These Philly Cheesesteak Sweet Potato Sliders.
PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SWEET POTATO SLIDERS
FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE. We haveeeeeeee arrived. Football is a HUGE deal in my life. So, I’ve been dreaming up some killer & healthy recipes for your to rock those tailgates and make every party feel like a touchdown.
Back to football being a huge deal: Can I get a War Eagle up in here? I went to Auburn University, so if you haven’t guessed, I am a loud & proud Auburn Tiger. JMan is a West Virginia Mountaineer as well as a Temple Owl and both of our brothers are Penn State Nittany Lions. So, yeah, College Football is our realm.
I love a good veggie tray and fruit salad but sometimes at a tailgate, I crave something heartier that won’t break the nutrition bank. And I mean, who doesn’t love a good Philly Cheesesteak.
This recipe follows a fairly traditional cheesesteak filling, but we’re swapping out the traditional bun for some sweet potato “tostadas” if you will.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
Flank steak (or a really economical cut of beef)
Olive Oil
Onion
Pepper
Cream cheese
Worcestershire sauce
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper
Sweet potatoes
Mozzarella cheese
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Chop sweet potatoes into discs at about 1/4-1/2 inch pieces. You’ll want them thick enough so they can stand up to the amount of filling that will be piled high on top. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil, and arrange the slices accordingly. Spray them again with olive oil and roast in the oven for 20 minutes total, flipping halfway.
Slice your beef into thin strips lengthwise & give them a rough chop horizontally. You’ll want to make sure the slices are small enough to fit comfortably on your sweet potato round. Add your beef into a skillet heated with olive oil and cook until the meat is slightly browned. Remove the meat from the pan.
While the meat cooks, chop the onions into thin strip & dice the green peppers. Add these to the heated pan and cook until the onions are translucent and peppers are soft. Add the cream cheese, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt & pepper and stir. Add the beef back into the mixture and coat it evenly with the sauce. Let this go until the meat is cooked all of the way through – about 3 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and pull the sweet potatoes from the oven. Scoop about 1-2 tbsp. of the beef mixture on top of the sweet potatoes and sprinkle with 1 tsp of cheese. This was plenty of cheese for me, but feel free to add more if you want!
Pop the pan back into the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese has melted. Then pop into your mouth for a tailgate treat!
