Description
Savor the rich flavors of Philly cheesesteak in a saucy, indulgent sloppy joe! A quick and easy recipe that combines two classic comfort foods into one irresistible sandwich.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 hoagie rolls or hamburger buns
- 4 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it into small pieces, and cook until browned (7-10 minutes). Drain excess fat.
- Sauté the Veggies: In the same pan, add olive oil. Sauté onions, bell peppers, and garlic until softened and golden (about 5 minutes).
- Simmer with Flavor: Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well and simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat and place provolone slices on top of the beef mixture. Cover and let the cheese melt into gooey perfection.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Slice rolls or buns in half. Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the bottom half and top with the other half.
- Serve Hot: Enjoy the sandwiches warm, paired with your favorite sides!
Notes
- Toast the Rolls: Lightly toasting the rolls adds texture and prevents them from getting too soggy when loaded with the cheesy beef mixture.
- Adjust Sauce Consistency: If the sauce feels too runny, simmer a little longer to reduce it or add a cornstarch-water slurry for thickening.
- Cheese Options: While provolone is traditional, feel free to use mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor profile. Make sure it melts well for that gooey goodness!
