Why we love Philly Cheesesteak Pockets Recipe
As a kiddo, I always loved opening Pillsbury Crescents® because of that unsuspecting POP that accompanies it. I still think of that anticipation each time I press the spoon into the crease of the inner packaging! Whether I make savory or sweet recipes with them–they make delicious additions to our table.
I love a good Philly Cheese Steak, especially in the winter time when I’m craving some comfort food to keep me warm and cozy on the chilliest of days! Comfort food to me is hot, cheesy, and a stick-to-ribs kind of recipe… this one is extra awesome because it’s only 5 ingredients and a few spices.
Awesome. It hardly gets any better than that 🙂

If you happen to have a few left hanging around after dinner–they’ll reheat just fine. I placed mine on a cookie sheet and reheated them in the oven for about 5-6 minutes to rewarm and crisp them up again.
They tasted just as good as the first time!

Can you reheat these in a air fryer?
And can these be frozen?
Hello Sheri… I have frozen them with success! I prepared them to freeze after all the components had cooled to room temperature then assembled the sandwiches and double wrapped them in plastic wrap. For added protection I then placed 3 at a time in a gallon freezer zip lock and they reheated perfectly! I am sure they would reheat in an air fryer really well! That is a great idea 🙂 Enjoy!! Ruthie
