What to Serve with Cheesesteak Stuffed Shells
These shells are hearty on their own but pair well with:
- Garlic Bread – The perfect side to soak up any leftover cheese sauce.
- Caesar Salad – A crisp, refreshing contrast to the rich shells.
- Roasted Vegetables – Simple roasted asparagus, broccoli, or brussels sprouts make a great side.
Storage and Reheating
- Refrigeration: Store leftover shells in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
