Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

Last week I confessed that I was in a bit of a cooking rut.

Even though I wasn’t cooking (for almost two months) I was dreaming up new recipes, jotting down ideas and wishing I had an ounce of motivation.

One of the things I wanted to try and make (when I got my cooking mojo back) was Philly Cheesesteak. No, not a regular Philly Cheesesteak sandwich (been there done that), but a pizza version of this famous sandwich!

So the second I got into the cooking spirit, homemade pizza and this particular vision of homemade pizza was what I wanted needed to make!

Earthy mushrooms, sweet caramelized onions and bell peppers, meaty roast beef and a tangy mixture of Swiss and Provolone cheese, all a top a chewy pizza crust.
All the classic flavors of a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich but on a pizza! What’s not to love!

Hells yeah!

Let me shout it from the roof tops, this pizza rocks!

PS: Confession No. 2: I can never spell Worcestershire sauce right. Like EVER. It is so bad that what I think is the right way to spell it, spell check can’t figure it out! Please tell me I’m not alone!

1/3 pound sliced roast beef, cut into thin strips

1 cup shredded provolone cheese

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Heat butter and oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add onions and a dash of salt. Cook onions, stirring occasionally for 10-12 minutes or until caramelized.
