Description

Irresistible Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are a delightful fusion of two comfort food classics that will have everyone asking for seconds. Imagine juicy beef, melted cheese, and vibrant peppers all nestled in a hearty bun. This recipe combines the flavors of a traditional Philly cheesesteak with the fun, easy-to-eat format of sloppy joes, making it an ideal dish for family dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced (mix of colors)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Flavorings

  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sloppy joe sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Cheese

  • 8 oz provolone cheese or Cheez Whiz

Buns

  • 4 soft, sturdy buns

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté diced onions and bell peppers until they are tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes. This step lays the foundation for the dish’s rich flavor.
  2. Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until it’s browned and no longer pink, which should take around 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce, allowing them to mingle and enhance the meat mixture for another 2 minutes.
  4. Combine with Sloppy Joe Sauce: Pour in your sloppy joe sauce and mix well. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Top the beef mixture with slices of provolone or a generous drizzle of Cheez Whiz. Cover with a lid for a couple of minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.

Notes

  • Use lean meat to reduce excess grease while still keeping plenty of flavor.
  • Don’t rush the sauté to allow the onions and peppers to caramelize for deeper flavor.
  • Sturdy buns help contain all the delicious filling without getting soggy.
  • Different cheeses can completely change the flavor profile, so feel free to experiment.
  • If serving at a gathering, keep the mixture warm in a slow cooker.
