PHILLY CHEESESTEAK CRESCENT BRAID

Typically Philly Cheesesteaks are made with shaved beef piled on hoagie rolls topped with tender peppers and onions and topped with provolone cheese. I took most of those yummy components found in a Philly Cheesesteak and stuffed them in a crescent braid. If you haven’t started drooling yet, just wait until you try this. It’s so good!
