Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes combine the bold flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak with the casual comfort of sloppy joes. Ground beef is sautéed with onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and garlic, then simmered in a tangy sauce and topped with melted provolone cheese. Served on toasted hamburger buns, this hearty and flavorful sandwich is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or casual gathering.

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup low sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Finishing and Serving

  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess grease if necessary to avoid sogginess.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Stir in the finely chopped onion, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and minced garlic. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add sauces and thicken: Mix in ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to coat the meat and veggies evenly. Whisk cornstarch into the beef broth until smooth, then pour into the skillet. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes while stirring, until the sauce thickens to a sloppy joe consistency.
  4. Melt the cheese: Lay the provolone slices evenly over the meat mixture. Cover the pan with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 1 minute. Once melted, stir gently to combine the cheese into the meat mixture.
  5. Serve: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto warmed hamburger buns and serve immediately while hot and gooey.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Cook the beef mixture up to 4 days in advance. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of beef broth to maintain moisture.
  • Freezer friendly: Cool filling completely before storing in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • Cheese options: Provolone is classic, but mozzarella, Swiss, white cheddar, or American cheese can be used for different flavor profiles.
  • Customize the veggies: While bell peppers and onions are traditional, mushrooms, jalapeños, or spinach can be added for extra flavor and texture.
