This recipe captures all the iconic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak with the simplicity of a sloppy joe.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 6 slices provolone cheese (or 1 cup shredded provolone)
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Toppings:
- Sautéed mushrooms
- Pickled jalapeños
- Hot sauce
Instructions:
- Cook the Beef Mixture: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
- Season the Beef: Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, ketchup, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and layer the provolone cheese over the beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt, about 2 minutes. Stir the melted cheese into the beef mixture.
- Assemble the Sloppy Joes: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto toasted hamburger buns. Add optional toppings if desired.
- Serve: Serve hot with a side of fries, chips, or a fresh salad.
