With support from the Pennsylvania Beef Council, we’ve developed a special group of Nourish PA recipes to celebrate PA Beef Month (every May). Canned beef and ground beef are commonly found at food pantries across Pennsylvania, and we hope that these recipes provide inspiration to make delicious, healthy and affordable meals!
Cheesesteaks are a bit of an obsession here in Pennsylvania, and we’re happy to report that making your own version at home is a snap! Using canned or frozen beef, your favorite sliced cheese and jarred peppers, these delicious subs are going to be a hit at lunch, dinner or your next game-day gathering!
