Description
Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are a delicious fusion of two comfort food classics—featuring juicy ground beef, melty provolone cheese, and savory vegetables in a tangy sauce, all piled onto a toasted bun.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably lean)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hamburger buns (toasted if desired)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
- Drain excess fat, then add chopped onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch into beef broth until smooth. Pour into skillet, bring to a simmer, and cook for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
- Lay provolone slices on top of the beef mixture, cover skillet, and let cheese melt for about 2 minutes.
- Stir melted cheese into the beef mixture until fully combined. Scoop onto hamburger buns and serve hot.
Notes
- Switch ground beef for turkey for a lighter version.
- Add mushrooms or use different colored bell peppers for variety.
- Try other cheeses like mozzarella or white American for a twist.
- Serve over rice or in a baked potato to skip the bun.
- Store leftover filling separately and toast buns fresh for best texture.
