Description

Sizzling Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes blend classic sandwich flavors into one irresistible comfort meal. Melted provolone, tender beef, and caramelized peppers create a mouthwatering twist you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Proteins:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 slices provolone cheese

Vegetables:

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced

Sauce and Seasonings:

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 4 sandwich buns

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly brown ground beef in a large skillet, breaking it into fine crumbles with a wooden spatula.
  2. Incorporate diced bell peppers and onions, sautéing until vegetables become translucent and tender, releasing their aromatic flavors.
  3. Enhance the meat mixture with Worcestershire sauce, creating depth of umami, then introduce beef broth and ketchup to develop a rich, savory base.
  4. Allow the mixture to gently simmer, reducing liquid and concentrating flavors until the consistency transforms into a thick, clingy sauce.
  5. Warm the hamburger buns slightly to create a sturdy foundation for the robust filling.
  6. Generously ladle the seasoned beef mixture onto each bun, ensuring an abundant portion.
  7. Immediately crown the sloppy joe with melting provolone cheese, which will cascade over the meat and create a luxurious, creamy finish.
  8. Serve immediately while the cheese is still molten and the buns are warm, capturing the quintessential Philly cheesesteak essence.

Notes

  • Opt for lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a cleaner, more flavorful base for your sloppy joes.
  • Drain excess fat after browning the meat to prevent a greasy texture and enhance the overall taste of the dish.
  • Slice bell peppers and onions uniformly for even cooking and a consistent texture throughout the mixture.
  • Experiment with different cheese varieties like Swiss or American for unique flavor profiles that complement the Philly cheesesteak-inspired filling.
