Recipe Ingredients
  • Ground Beef- Crumbly, perfectly cooked lean ground beef is ideal for these saucy, sloppy joes.
  • Veggies- Onion, green bell pepper, and garlic add color, flavor, and texture to the mix.
  • Seasonings- Amp up the flavor with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, white pepper, paprika,Creole seasoning, and beef broth.
  • Cheese- Provolone is the classic sloppy joe cheese. However, shredded provolone, mozzarella, or a combination of both works fine.
  • Buns- Brioche hamburger buns are my fave, but any bun or roll is delicious.
  • How to Make Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes

    • Drain- Remove the meat from the pan and discard excess grease, especially if using regular ground beef. Use your best judgment here on how much to toss. (Photo 2)
    • Saute- Add the butter, onions, garlic, bell peppers, and green onions, sauteing them for 1-2 minutes. (Photo 3)

    Recipe Variations
  • Turn it into a taco. Substituting corn tortillas for the buns is also delicious. Usetaco seasoninginstead ofCreole seasoningfor a Mexican spin on it.
  • Try the sloppy joe mixture on a potato. Pile a spoonful atop a baked potato for an insanely good stuffed baked potato. 😋
  • Use a different ground meat. It wont be a cheese steak recipe anymore, but I wont tell. Try this recipe with ground chicken, turkey, or even lamb.
  • Tips and Tricks
  • Use a large skillet to brown the beef. It browns better when its not crowded.
  • Break up clumps in the beef as you brown it. That helps keep the overall texture even and makes the sandwiches a tad less sloppy. 😅
  • Worcestershire sauce is the main flavor component of this recipe. But if you must substitute it, try tamari or soy sauce.
  • Make-Ahead Instructions

    You can make this a day or two in advance. Follow the recipe, but wait to add the cheese. Let the mix cool and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Its even better the next day.
