Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider sautéing garlic with the onions and mushrooms. You can substitute Steak-umm with any thinly sliced beef or even a vegetarian alternative for a meat-free version. If you prefer a bit of heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture. Experiment with different types of cheese like provolone or pepper jack for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cheese steak hoagies with a side of crispy fries or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with a Frosty Mountain Cooler, making for a refreshing drink option. For a fun twist, consider serving them with a side of Pa. Dutch Funnel Cakes for a sweet finish to your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover hoagies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap the hoagies in aluminum foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This helps keep the bread from getting soggy while melting the cheese.
