Here at SkinnyMs., Philly cheesesteaks invoke memories of baseball games and good times with family and friends. Luckily, they’re also an easy dinner to whip up when life gets busy. However, grease and fat abound in the traditional sandwich, making it a poor option for an everyday meal, unlike our Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteaks! With lean sirloin steak and healthy olive oil, you can pack these up for a picnic and enjoy them without remorse.
Plus, we’ve packed ours with plenty of veggies to make a balanced meal! So pop these in the slow cooker, sit back, and relax until you’re rewarded with a mouthwatering Philly cheesesteak.
