I am conducting an important ChiefsPlanet experiment. Please feel free to participate or not as you will.
This thread is about cheese. There are, as we all know, many varieties of cheese. There is munster, parmesan (good on spaghetti), cheddar, brie (known in France as "The Queen of Cheeses"), and lots of other kinds. Of note, one ounce of Wisconsin Cheddar has approximately 114 calories and 7 grams of protein. Cheese is pretty good and, in moderation, good for you.
Please feel free to post your thoughts and comments regarding cheese here. There is no need whatsoever to create another thread about cheese. Neither is there any need to post cheese-related information on other threads.
For cheese at the regular grocery store I like Tillamook Extra Sharp Cheddar, I also like Oaxca cheese or what ever that mexican crumbly cheese is. My friends got some cheese from Better Cheddar and it was a dry cheese almost parmesan but not as dry and had an almond flavor man I at the crap outta that cheese. Never have got the appeal of Brie.

After exhaustive research, here's what I came up with, Mr. stumppy.
How to make a Philly cheesesteak:
1) Start with good beef. Pat’s uses sliced rib-eye. Jim’s uses USDA choice top round western steer beef.
2) Shave the beef very thin so it cooks quickly and remains tender.
3) Use a fresh high quality Italian roll - Amoroso’s is a favorite.
4) Decide if you want your steak with or without fried onions.
5) Decide if you want a steak or a cheesesteak. If you elect a cheesesteak you need to decide on American cheese, provolone or the Philly favorite "cheez whiz".
6) Any add-ons? Mushrooms, peppers, pizza sauce, tomatoes? You decide. It’s your sandwich.
7) Start to cook. Sauté the onions, peppers and mushrooms until soft.
Fry your steak until brown but not crispy or burned. You can mix in the fried vegetables now or add them at the end.
8) If you elect American cheese or provolone place the cheese on the meat until slightly melted. If you choose Cheez Whiz just smear it on the roll.
9) Place the roll over the meat/cheese/vegetables and scoop it into the sandwich.
10) Garnish your sandwich with pizza sauce, hot or sweet peppers or pickles as you choose.
11) Enjoy your Philadelphia cheesesteak.
Tips:
1) Using the best beef available is the key.
2) Don't overcook the ingredients.
3) If you don't cook, go to Pat's Geno's or Jim's. Which one is bese? It's a regular Philadelphia debate.

Pepper jack? I should've asked about this before I hired you. [Reply]

Great in a Mexican omelette or huevos rancheros. Can't beat pepper cheese for that :-) [Reply]
When I lived in Phili every time I got one it had a white cheese on it. I guess it could have been white american but it sure didn't taste like american cheese to me. Provolone maybe but it didn't taste like it either. Maybe it was both.
What I would give to have a good ol Phili cheesesteake. It's been 25 yrs since I last had one and I still crave them. [Reply]
