Cheesesteak Stuffed Garlic Bread Loaf is the kind of comfort food fantasy that turns into obsession at first bite. Picture thick, crusty bread stuffed with seasoned beef, sautéed onions, melty cheese, and brushed with garlic butter. This hearty loaf packs everything you love about a Philly cheesesteak into a sliceable, shareable masterpiece.


It’s the perfect mash-up of two iconic favorites: cheesy garlic bread and the classic cheesesteak sandwich. Whether you serve it up for game day, a casual dinner, or a weekend hangout, this dish grabs attention and satisfies even the biggest appetites. Melted cheese, savory beef, and crispy bread? Yes, please.
What Kind of Bread Should I Use?
A crusty French bread or Italian loaf works best here. Look for one that’s thick enough to hold the filling without falling apart, but still soft on the inside to soak up that garlicky, cheesy goodness. Avoid baguettes, which are too narrow, and instead opt for wider sandwich loaves.
Ingredients for the Cheesesteak Stuffed Garlic Bread Loaf
- Ground Beef: Gives that rich, meaty cheesesteak base. Choose lean for less grease, but not too lean—you want the flavor.
- Yellow Onion: Sautéed until soft and golden, it adds that signature sweetness and depth.
- Garlic: Minced and mixed with butter for the perfect garlic bread coating.
- Butter: For flavor and richness, and to carry the garlic throughout the bread.
- Shredded Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese: Melty, creamy, and stretchy—a cheese duo that gives serious pull-apart satisfaction.
- Italian or French Loaf: A wide, sturdy bread to cradle all the goodness.
- Salt & Pepper: To season the beef and bring everything together.
How To Make the Cheesesteak Stuffed Garlic Bread Loaf
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Mixture
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Break it apart as it cooks. Once browned, add the diced onion and continue to cook until the onion is soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Mix the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. You can also add a sprinkle of parsley or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Step 3: Hollow Out the Bread
Slice the loaf in half horizontally and scoop out a bit of the inside bread to create space for the filling. Be careful not to cut through the crust.
Step 4: Assemble the Filling
Brush the insides of the bread with the garlic butter. Spoon in the beef and onion mixture evenly, then top generously with shredded mozzarella and provolone. Press slightly to help it hold together.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden and Melty
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden brown.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
Let it cool slightly, then slice into thick pieces. Serve warm and gooey!

How to Store and Reheat Cheesesteak Stuffed Garlic Bread
Leftovers (if you’re lucky enough to have any) can be wrapped in foil and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melty again. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the bread crispy.
What to Serve With Cheesesteak Stuffed Garlic Bread Loaf?
Creamy Tomato Soup
A warm bowl of tomato soup pairs perfectly, adding a little acidity to cut through the richness.
Classic Coleslaw
The crunchy texture and tangy dressing balance out the cheesiness of the loaf.
Pickles or Pickled Jalapeños
Add a little zing and spice that compliments the beefy, cheesy bread.
Crispy Potato Wedges
Go all-in with a side of seasoned potato wedges or fries.
Fresh Garden Salad
Lighten things up with a crisp salad tossed in vinaigrette.
