Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers (if using) and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, around 6-8 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
Mix the Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese with the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheese. Stir in the cooked beef and veggie mixture, blending everything until the cheeses are melted and everything is well combined.
Assemble the Breadsticks: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into strips, about 3 inches wide and 6 inches long, depending on your preference.
Fill and Seal: Spoon the Philly cheesesteak mixture along the center of each dough strip. Fold the dough over the filling to form a pocket and seal the edges tightly by pressing with a fork.
Bake: Place the stuffed breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and cooked through.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: These Philly cheesesteak stuffed cheesy breadsticks are best served fresh and warm. Serve with a side of marinara or ranch dipping sauce for extra flavor.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Variations:
Vegetarian Version: Skip the beef and substitute with grilled mushrooms, peppers, and onions for a delicious vegetarian take on this recipe.
Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or hot sauce to the cheesesteak mixture for a spicy version of the breadsticks.
Extra Cheesy: Feel free to add extra cheeses like cheddar or gouda to the filling for a richer, cheesier flavor.
Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free pizza dough if you're looking for a gluten-free alternative.
