Description
Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are a quick and delicious comfort food mashup, combining the rich, cheesy flavors of a Philly cheesesteak with the ease and heartiness of a sloppy joe, all in one skillet.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup beef broth
6 slices provolone cheese
4–6 brioche or hamburger buns, toasted
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté diced onions and green bell pepper for about 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in garlic powder, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Mix well.
- In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with beef broth until smooth, then pour into the skillet.
- Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for another 4–5 minutes until it thickens.
- Lay the provolone slices over the meat, cover the pan, and let the cheese melt.
- Once the cheese is melted, stir gently to mix it evenly through the beef mixture.
- Spoon the beef mixture onto toasted buns and serve hot.
Notes
Swap provolone for white American or mozzarella for a different cheese flavor.
Add red pepper flakes or jalapeños for heat.
Use ground turkey for a leaner version.
Serve the mixture over baked potatoes or rice for a bun-free option.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet and add a splash of broth or water if too thick.
Do not freeze—cheese and peppers may change texture.
