A Cheesesteak Bubble Up Biscuit Bake is a comforting casserole inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. It combines seasoned beef, sautéed peppers and onions, fluffy biscuit pieces, and lots of melted cheese baked together in one dish. The biscuit dough “bubbles up” as it bakes, creating a fluffy, cheesy, and savory meal that’s perfect for dinner or potlucks.
