Philly Cheese Steak Dip

Description

This easy-to-make hot dip would make a handsome addition to your snack table for the Big Game. Like all great party foods, it’s wonderful hot, warm, room temp, and, I’ve heard from a reliable source, even delicious cold. Serve alongside sliced baguette. Keep it hot and fresh for guests by baking it in 2 batches, or feel free to do this all at once in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
