Philly Cheesesteak

There is no food more synonymous with Philadelphia than a Philly Cheesesteak. Sure everyone has their favorite place to buy one hot off the grille, but how about making them at home? Spend With Pennies has this easy recipe that even beginner cooks can master.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ribeye steak or round steak or sirloin
• ½ large white onion or 1 small white onion, thinly sliced
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 hoagie rolls
• 2 tablespoons garlic butter
• 3 ounces provolone cheese or American cheese

Instructions

1. Place steak in the freezer for 30-60 minutes.
2. While the steak is freezing, add onions and butter to a pan and cook on low heat until golden, stirring occasionally. Be sure to use low and slow heat. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Remove beef from the freezer and slice as thinly as possible.
4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cut hoagie rolls in half (not all of the way through) and butter with garlic butter. Grill rolls on the skillet, butter side down, or broil until golden. Set aside.
5. Turn the heat on the skillet/griddle up to high.
6. Season the thinly sliced beef with salt & pepper. Add olive oil to the hot skillet and add beef. Stir until browned, this should only take a couple of minutes. Turn heat down to low, add onions, and stir to combine.
7. Top beef in the skillet with cheese slices and leave for about 1 minute or until cheese begins to melt. Place rolls over top of the cheese and using a large spatula, transfer mixture to rolls.

Mama Kelce’s Cookies

This Super Bowl is the first one where two brothers are playing one another on opposite teams. Eagles center Jason Kelce is going against his brother Travis who is the tight end for the Chiefs. Their mom Donna has already seen both of them win a championship, but only one can take this one. Mama Kelce recently made headlines when bringing both her sons a container of chocolate chip cookies for Super Bowl media night. NBC Sports asked her about it and she shared the recipe.

"It’s just a basic chocolate chip recipe, brown sugar and flour — I use both cake flour and regular flour, one cup of each. I take the butter and melt it in the microwave, and that just makes the cookies creamier.One thing that I do is I have white chocolate and milk chocolate chips, and I also put in a little bit of cinnamon. That’s really the only changes that I do to a cookie recipe. And I let the dough sit overnight in the refrigerator so all the flavors mesh in together. That’s about it."

Fly Eagles Fly Cocktail

Eagles fans of age might want a special drink to enjoy with the game. How about this cocktail made primarily with vodka that comes out in a shade of green. It’s the perfect drink to sip on as the Eagles battle it out for four quarters.
