Impossible™ Cheesesteak Recipe

This Impossible Cheesesteak recipe will save you a trip to Philadelphia—and also help save the planet. The term “comfort food” gets thrown around a lot these days, but cheesesteaks certainly meet the mark. After all, what’s better than gooey cheese, caramelized onion, and perfectly-cooked beef, all layered together in harmony on a hoagie? A cheesesteak featuring meat made from plants, that’s what. Better for you, better for the planet, and totally easy to make. Cheesesteaks are simple sandwiches with just a few ingredients, but those ingredients do a lot of work, so it’s important to get each one right. Once you have everything prepped and ready, you’re that much closer to enjoying your Impossible Cheesesteak. First things first: Every cheesesteak connoisseur knows that properly caramelized onions are crucial to achieving that trademark flavor, and the old rules certainly apply here. Thinly slice three white onions, toss them in a pot with cola and a pinch of salt, and cook down until the cola is gone—but don’t burn it! It may seem like a lot of onions at first, but in the end it will be the perfect amount. The cheese sauce is the easy part; simply melt the cheese in a pot with some water and whisk until blended. After you’ve browned the Impossible™ Beef and added the caramelized onions to it, all that’s left is to assemble the sandwiches on your hoagie rolls and broil in the oven for about 20 seconds. Now you’re all set. Delicious, easy, authentic, homemade cheesesteak sandwiches with Impossible Beef. No need to fly to Philly! This recipe makes enough for three cheesesteaks, but you’re not obligated to share.

About this Recipe

Dreaming of that iconic diner experience right in your kitchen? This copycat Steak 'N Shake Frisco Melt recipe brings the unmistakable flavor and satisfying texture home, letting you create a beloved classic without the drive-thru.

The magic of this Frisco Melt truly lies in its unique components. Unlike typical diner burgers, this recipe calls for a specific, premium blend of ground round, ground sirloin, and ground T-bone steak for the patties, yielding an unparalleled depth of beefy flavor and texture. The tangy "Frisco Sauce," a carefully balanced mix of Thousand Island dressing, French dressing, and ketchup with a splash of Worcestershire, perfectly complements the rich beef and melty cheeses.

Prepare for a symphony of textures and tastes: perfectly seared, savory beef patties are nestled between two kinds of delightfully melty cheese—classic American and Swiss—all hugged by crisp, buttery sourdough bread. Each bite delivers a harmonious blend of meaty richness, creamy tanginess, and a satisfying crunch. It's a remarkably comforting and flavorful sandwich that captures the essence of its restaurant inspiration.

While the specific blend of meats is key to authentic flavor, you can adjust the ground beef ratio based on what's available. If you don't have all three cuts, a combination of two quality ground beef types will still yield a delicious result. Similarly, if Swiss isn't your preference, provolone could be a substitute, though the American and Swiss combination is central to the original. The distinctive sauce can easily be mixed ahead of time, ready to assemble when you are.

This Frisco Melt makes for a fantastic quick lunch or a satisfying weeknight dinner that truly feels like a special treat. Serve it as the star of the meal.
