Ultimate Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches

*Okay, I have no idea why the colors look so weird in this picture.*
Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches are one of my favorite foods. Sandwiched between crusty, chewy bread spread with cream cheese and a light sprinkle of garlic, I stack layers and layers of juicy, flavorful roast beef, carmelized onions, green bell peppers and Swiss cheese. This heavenly sandwich is pressed to perfection in my Breville panini maker and dunked in hot au jus. I was officially referred to as "Da Bomb" by my friends husband after I brought this in for dinner.
