National Cheesesteak Day on March 24th celebrates a fantastic sandwich!
What makes a Philly cheesesteak authentic? If you’ve never had one, you can really only get an authentic one in Philly.
Depending on where you buy your cheesesteak, it may be topped with American cheese, provolone cheese, or cheese whiz.
In places of the country other than Philadelphia, bell peppers and mushrooms are common toppings.
If you can't make it to Philadelphia today but you can make it to the grocery store then try this recipe!

Instructions
