i made a few changes. Reduced butter to 1/2 a stick, watching fat and cholesterol. reduced flour to 1/2 c and used 4 cups milk (2%). used 1 cup of beef broth. And we used 1lb of thinly sliced chuck steak that I seasoned with salt and pepper, diced up and cooked in iron skillet with a little olive oil really quick which cooking all of it at the same time produced a good broth. i did not cook them dry but just until done and then added the meat and the juice from the pan. this was a nice dish on this cold night. and i have enough for the freezer for another dinner. Thanks for sharing

I made this after reading all the great reviews, and having a craving for the sandwich. It was so bad I ended up throwing it out after one night. I followed the recipe exactly; it was thin, bland, and all together nothing like a Philly Cheesesteak. Maybe it was the cheese, I don't know. What a disappointment and a huge waste of money.
