{Skinny} Philly Cheesesteak Dip is really delicious, addictive, and a definite crowd pleaser! Our friends had us over for a holiday party and the entire kitchen was filled with yummy food. It was amazing! Everyone LOVED this dip and I couldn’t believe how quickly it disappeared. People were piling it on their plates and could not walk away from it! My husband loves Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches and he was blown away by how great this dip tasted! We have been together for a little over 12 years and before meeting him, I had never tasted a cheesesteak. He grew up in Pennsylvania, so he ate a lot of them over the years. When we were dating and living in California, he had to go back to Philadelphia for a business meeting. He brought me back a sandwich and I loved it! Then we lived in Pennsylvania for three years and definitely had our fair share of cheesesteaks. Our kids now love them too! We all love this {Skinny} Philly Cheesesteak Dip and it is even better that it uses some healthier ingredients! We have more holiday parties to go to and are also hosting one at our house, so I am already excited to make this tasty appetizer again soon!
