Philly Cheesesteak Cheesy Bread

1. Preheat and Prep:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Cheesy Bread:
   • Slice the French baguette or Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise. Place the halves on a baking sheet.
3. Garlicky Butter Spread:
   • In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. Spread this mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
4. Toast in the Oven:
   • Toast the bread in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden and the butter has melted into the bread.
5. Sauté the Philly Cheesesteak Filling:
   • In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil. Add thinly sliced ribeye steak and cook until browned. Add sliced onions and green bell peppers (and mushrooms if using). Sauté until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Make the Cheese Sauce:
   • In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in milk, and continue whisking until the mixture thickens. Reduce heat and stir in shredded American or cheddar cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Assemble the Cheesy Bread:
   • Spread the sautéed Philly Cheesesteak filling evenly over the toasted bread. Pour the warm cheese sauce generously over the top.
8. Add More Cheese, Because Why Not:
   • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese over the Philly Cheesesteak filling and cheese sauce.
9. Broil to Perfection:
   • Set your oven to broil and place the assembled cheesy bread under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
