Oh yes — Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes are like the lovechild of classic sloppy joes and Philly cheesesteaks: cheesy, meaty, and utterly irresistible. Here’s a flavorful stovetop recipe:
🥩 Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
Ingredients (4–6 servings)
-
1 lb (450 g) thinly sliced beef (ribeye, sirloin, or ground beef for easier prep)
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup beef broth
-
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional, for extra richness)
-
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
4–6 hamburger buns
-
4 oz (115 g) provolone or American cheese, sliced
Instructions
-
Cook the beef:
-
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the beef until browned. Remove and set aside.
-
-
Sauté veggies:
-
In the same skillet, add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook 3–4 minutes until softened.
-
-
Make the sauce:
-
Return beef to the skillet. Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and mustard.
-
Simmer 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
-
-
Add cheese:
-
Reduce heat to low and layer cheese over the beef mixture. Cover briefly until melted.
-
-
Assemble Sloppy Joes:
-
Toast buns if desired. Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto buns and serve hot.
-
Tips & Variations
-
Extra Philly flavor: Add sautéed mushrooms or roasted red peppers.
-
Cheesy pull: Mix shredded provolone or mozzarella into the beef mixture for a gooey texture.
-
Spicy kick: Stir in a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
-
Make ahead: The beef mixture can be prepared a day ahead; just reheat and melt cheese before serving.
If you want, I can give a “one-pan skillet version with caramelized onions and peppers” that makes the Sloppy Joes even more decadent and Philly-like.
Do you want me to do that?
