Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes

This Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes recipe from eFilRes blends the hearty comfort of a Sloppy Joe with the iconic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak—juicy seasoned beef, sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms, a tangy sauce, and melty provolone, all stuffed into a soft bun. It’s a fun, messy, crowd-pleasing twist on two American classics.

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef

• 2 Tbsp butter

• 1 small yellow onion, diced

• 1 small green bell pepper, diced

• 8 oz brown mushrooms, minced

• 2 Tbsp ketchup

• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• ½ tsp kosher salt

• ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper

• 1 Tbsp cornstarch

• 1 cup beef broth

• 8 oz provolone cheese, chopped (or 6 oz for lighter cheesiness)

• 6–8 brioche or hamburger buns

Directions

1. Brown the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until about 50% browning forms a crust, then break up the meat and finish cooking. Remove and set aside .

2. Sauté veggies: In the same skillet, melt butter, then add onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Brown without stirring for 1–2 minutes, then stir and brown another 1–2 minutes.

3. Combine: Return beef to skillet. Whisk together beef broth and cornstarch, then add it with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens.

4. Melt cheese & serve: Remove from heat and stir in provolone until melted. Optionally toast buns with butter. Spoon mixture onto buns and serve immediately.
