Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.
In a medium size saucepan, heat a few drizzles of olive oil. Add the sliced steak. Cook for on high heat for 2-3 minutes until browned or to your desired doneness. Season lightly with Montreal steak seasoning. Remove from the pan.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Season with seasoned salt and black pepper. Add additional olive oil, if needed. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
Lower the heat and add the cubed white American cheese, 1/2 cup cream, cream cheese, steak seasoning, dry Italian seasoning and granulated garlic. Cook until the American cheese and cream cheese has completely melted. Add additional half and half as needed to thin.
Remove from the heat and add the steak to the melted cheese. Mix until combined.
Pour the dip into the baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Serve with pita chips, sliced baguette, carrots, celery, tortilla chips or garlic bread for dipping.

- Cream Substitutions: You can use whole milk or half and half in place of light cream.

- Cheese: You can experiment using different kinds of cheese such as gouda, colby jack or pepper jack cheeses or provolone cheese in place of mozzarella cheese.

- Beef: You can cut the steak into bite-size pieces instead of slices. I choose to use shaved ribeye or sirloin steak as it's in keeping with the classic sandwich. You could also swap out the steak bites for one half pound cooked ground beef.

- Vegetables: You can add more veggies such as yellow onion, hot peppers, jalapenos or red peppers to the cheese dip mixture. When doing so, sauté them in a skillet over medium heat with oil or a little butter until tender, then proceed with the recipe.
