Open-Faced Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich – Weight Watchers

Please follow and like us:

One of my favorite foods is a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. Especially when it comes to bar food, it’s probably the thing I order the most. 

So you know I had to come up with a way to be able to eat my favorite sandwich! Not only is this open-faced sandwich good, it’s low in Freestyle points too!

We’re talking 3 Freestyle points for each sandwich. I had two of these for dinner the other night and it was only 6 Freestyle points! Plus it was very filling.

These Philly Cheese Steaks are also easy to make. For the meat, I used Boar’s Head roast beef. I used 5 ounces which equaled 4 points.

I used a scale to weigh the roast beef. If you don’t have a scale I highly recommend you get one. I probably use mine every other day. It comes in real handy if I’m making a recipe with pasta.

I simply cut the roast beef into thin slices, seasoned it with garlic powder and pepper, then heated it up. Now the meat doesn’t have the taste of cooking all day in delicious juices, but that is ok. I was just looking for a Philly Cheese Steak quick fix.

I kept this recipe low in points by making it open-faced. Unfortunately, a lot of the points would normally come from bread. It’s always the good stuff that costs so many points!!

I used mini bagels instead of regular sized bagels. That helped save on points too. One mini bagel is only 3 points. Using 2 mini bagels gave me four open-faced sandwiches.

The onions and green pepper were cooked in no-stick cooking spray so that is 0 points.

I used part-skim Mozzarella shredded cheese. 1/4 cup is only 2 Freestyle points.

That’s all you need for this perfect little Open-Faced Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich!
