Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes Recipe

Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes fuse juicy ground beef with caramelized onions, green peppers, and mushrooms in gooey provolone cheese sauce. Served on toasted brioche buns, this 30-minute mashup delivers cheesesteak flavor with sloppy joe ease.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 8 oz button mushrooms, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp A1 steak sauce
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 8 oz provolone cheese, chopped or shredded
  • 6 brioche hamburger buns
  • Optional:
  • Mayonnaise
  • Pickled banana peppers

Instructions

  • 1. Heat large skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef, cook undisturbed 2 minutes until crust forms. Break apart, cook until browned and 50% has crust. Remove beef, leave fat.
  • 2. Melt butter in skillet. Add onion, bell pepper, mushrooms. Cook undisturbed 2 minutes, stir, cook 2 more minutes until browned. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds.
  • 3. Return beef to skillet. Whisk cornstarch into beef broth. Add broth mixture, ketchup, Worcestershire, A1, salt, pepper. Simmer 4-5 minutes until thickened (coats spoon).
  • 4. Remove from heat. Stir in provolone until melted and creamy. Toast buns. Spread mayo if desired.
  • 5. Spoon generous portions onto buns. Top with pickled peppers. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Let beef crust before breaking apart major flavor boost.
  • Cook veggies undisturbed for caramelization, not steaming.
  • Provolone essential; mozzarella too mild, cheddar too sharp.
  • Brioche holds sauce without sogginess; potato rolls work too.
  • Make ahead: refrigerate 3 days, thin with broth when reheating.
