Description
These Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are a savory mashup of two comfort food favorites—Philly cheesesteaks and sloppy joes. Ground beef, caramelized onions, melty cheese, and buttery toasted buns make this a quick, cheesy, and irresistible dinner option your whole family will love.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
6 slices provolone cheese or American cheese
2 tablespoons salted butter (for toasting buns)
4 sandwich buns or hoagie rolls, split and ready to toast
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and green bell peppers until soft and caramelized, about 6–8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
2. Push the veggies to one side and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
3. Add beef broth and simmer the mixture for 4–5 minutes until thickened and saucy.
4. Lower the heat and place the cheese slices over the beef. Cover until melted, then stir to incorporate into the mixture.
5. Meanwhile, butter the cut sides of the buns and toast them face-down in a skillet until golden and crisp.
6. Scoop the cheesy beef mixture onto each toasted bun. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
Don’t skip toasting the buns—it adds a layer of crunch and keeps the sandwich from getting soggy.
Make the beef mixture ahead of time for meal prep and simply reheat before assembling.
If using American cheese, layer it in after the beef simmers, as it melts faster than provolone.
