Description

This recipe is a fun twist on two classic sandwiches—Philly cheesesteak and sloppy joes! It features juicy ground beef, sautéed peppers and onions, and a rich, cheesy sauce, all served on toasted buns. A quick and easy weeknight dinner that’s packed with flavor!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, diced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (or more, as needed)
  • 4 hamburger buns, toasted
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for buns)

Instructions

  • Cook the Beef – In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
  • Sauté the Veggies – Add diced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Season & Simmer – Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, ketchup, and mustard. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Thicken the Mixture (Optional) – If needed, mix cornstarch with a little water and stir it into the pan to thicken the sauce.
  • Add Cheese – Lay the provolone slices over the beef mixture. Cover the pan for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts. Stir gently to combine.
  • Toast the Buns – Spread butter on each bun and toast in a separate skillet until golden brown.
  • Assemble & Serve – Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto toasted buns and serve hot!

Notes

  • Substitute provolone with American or mozzarella cheese for a different twist.
  • For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream before melting the cheese.
  • Serve with fries, chips, or a simple side salad.
